Ctrl-5 or 6 brings up the DockingBar menus.
Sadly I don't think the text emphasis menu is possible to reach on Windows
:-(

Excerpts from Help menu/ Keyboard shortcuts that can't be used on windows:

Text Emphasis
(not available on all platforms)
Cmd-1 type the first method argument
Cmd-2 type the second method argument
Cmd-3 type the third method argument
Cmd-4 type the fourth method argument
Cmd-5 color, action-on-click, link to class comment, link to method, url,
custom attributes (brings up a menu)
Cmd-6 italic
Cmd-7 bold
Cmd-8 struck-out
Cmd-9 underlined
Cmd-0 make plain (removes all attributes)

Best,
Karl
