Hi, I grabbed the below list of shortcut keys from the hotkeys section of iTunes help (windows version).
Jon Keyboard shortcuts You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly accomplish many tasks in iTunes. To find the shortcuts for common commands, look in the iTunes menus, or use the table below as a reference. Many items in the iTunes window (for example, songs and column headings) also have shortcut menus that let you do tasks quickly. To see a shortcut menu, right-click the item. To turn on full keyboard navigation, choose Edit > Preferences, click General, and select "Enable full keyboard navigation." Some screen readers override keyboard combinations built into iTunes; check the screen reader documentation for instructions on customizing key combinations.

They do work perfectly well and in fact I miswrote earlier because I wrote Alt+1, Aklt+2 etc. and it is of course Control+1, Control+2 and so on. Alt+These worked in iTunes 11 (at least most of them) and they work even better in iTunes 12. I am also using Jaws and Richard said he is using Window Eyes so since they work both for me and for him they can't be Jaws or Window Eyes specific hot keys.
