There is no keyboard shortcut, but the sort manager [Control]+[S] has a 
"collections" mode that will allow you to add an image to a collection with 
a single click. Sort manager only works with collections that are stored in 
$(HOME)/.gqview/collections

For tag editing of keywords there is [Control]+[K], and you can set up a 
list of commonly used tags that will appear as checkboxes for each image. 
But again this is mouse centric, sorry.

To add a keyboard shortcut as you envision would require hacking the code.
