Trying to write a chemistry worksheet in pages, however needing to use both subscript and superscript regularly is hampered as I can't set a button for it like in word, and the supposed shortcuts don't work. There also seems no way to set a new shortcut, it requiring a menu command. Please help!

A lot of people mistake the = key for the + key; the shortcut for superscript ( ctrl cmd + or ctrl cmd shift =) works for me. If it doesn't work for you, maybe you could give a little more information whether any shortcuts do work and which ones don't.
Shortcuts described in menu items may be 'cumbersome'..
For keys wearing a single symbol, Select All for instance, the need to press the shift key is displayed : ⇧⌘A
For keys wear two symbols, they don't display the shift key symbol but only the character requiring it. It's the case for + which is issued when we press shift and the key (+/=).
So, on a French keyboard, superscript is obtained with : control & command & shift & (+/=)
and subscript with control & command & (_/-)
