For use on a PC, an alternative shortcut (that I find easier to hit than the ctrl + 0 combination requiring a stretch from both little fingers) is: Alt + s, v, <L> <Enter> (where <L> is the initial letter of the variable). Hold the Alt key with your thumb -- it's easy to reach on either side of the spacebar while your fingers remain on the home keys. The key sequence activates the menu commands as if you were clicking them, so you can verify your choice in the variables dialog box before hitting Enter, if need be.
