Because the Alt button allows you to flick through all the menu options then you can create your own keyboard shortcut for pretty much anything. In response to Zaine, this may require three button presses, but if it happens to be a function your perform regularly then it sure is a lot faster than the mouse. Hold down Alt and type OCA.

Alt+V, L switches to List view in any Explorer window. There’s no single shortcut that will do the trick, but will you settle for a two-key combination?
