No keyboard shortcuts, but if you use the symbol often, you can create a variable and insert that with a keyboard shortcut (Alt + s, v, first letter of variable name, Enter). (I'm speaking from an FM9 POV, but FM10 probably works the same.) When creating the variable, you can type the unicode in the form \u2192, with no need to suffer the grim horror of the Character Palette. (You may need to first create a character tag specifying one of the fonts that contains the arrow at that code point, and include the tag in the variable definition.)
