Yes, you can, but I found you don't want to.

In the Tools/Customize dialogs, you can assign any style to a keystroke 
combination. I tried it by reassigning Ctrl-B to the Strong Emphasis 
character style and Ctrl-I to the Emphasis style. But, unlike the direct 
formatting commands, these don't *toggle* the attribute. So, if while 
typing, I hit Ctrl-B, then everything after it applies the Strong 
Emphasis character style. If I hit Ctrl-B again, it *doesn't* turn it 
off. So, I reassigned those keystrokes to their toggled effects.

Instead, I assigned Alt-B and Alt-I to the respective character styles. 
Then, I assigned Alt-D to the "Default" character style. Now, I can 
apply the desired style quickly while typing without altering the 
default behavior of the program for those times when I might need it.
