What would you suggest as the shortcut?
Comment 2 Elitre 2013-11-25 16:42:15 UTC 
Let's avoid symbols not available on non-English keyboards for a start, like backslash :p
Comment 3 WhatamIdoing 2013-11-25 17:25:05 UTC 
My first choice is ctrl-alt-r, which unfortunately is in use as a shortcut to open Special:RecentChanges, and command-R is in use by the browsers to reload pages.

I'll personally use this enough that I'll be able to get used to just about anything.  Maybe ctrl-alt-1, if you want this to work across multiple languages?  Adding citations has "number one" importance to many Wikipedia editors.
