Sorry, Microsoft Project does not have the same capacity as Word
to assign items to custom keyboard shortcuts. Project, although
a Microsoft product does not follow many of the same conventions.
By the same token, no other Office Product has the same
capacity as Project.

However, there are quite a few keyboard shortcuts in Project.
For example, to select a row so you can delete it, try
Shift+spacebar.

To your comment about "copy and paste screwing up predecessors"
make sure the option "autolink inserted or moved tasks" is
disabled in Tool > Options, Schedule tab.
