You've tried it with InDesign keyboard shortcuts and it works, I
suppose?

My pleasant discovery yesterday, while using my keypadless method of
having simple paragraph-style scripts assigned to the normal number
keys with a modifier, was that while I have to change the names of the
styles in the scripts themselves, I don't have to change the names of
the scripts themselves - "Apply Para Style 1.scpt", for example. This
is because the names of the numbered scripts are always visible at the
top of the paragraph styles palette, Sort by Name in the palette menu
providing this result when needed.
