From other programs, I'm used to something like Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C/M or similar.

Edit: Apparently it is also not possible to define custom shortcuts in PowerPoint? Please correct me if this is wrong/outdated info.

Add the required align option to the quick access tool bar. Reorder these items if necessary so that the align options are in are say 3 and 4. Then alt-3 or alt-4 will select them with a single key stroke. (Using ppt 2016)

This also works for 2013 and 2010, by the way.

Here's a short video that explains how to customize the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT to its friends) https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Customize-the-Quick-Access-Toolbar-43fff1c9-ebc4-4963-bdbd-c2b6b0739e52

The closest to a default shortcut I could find so far is the ribbon keyboard navigation:

Alt + H + G + A + C/M

What are the default shortcuts for “Align Center” and “Align Middle”?

There are no default shortcuts for these operations.

However, there is a (paid) add-on PowerPoint ShortcutTools 3.0 that adds these and many other shortcuts.

Here are just some of the new shortcuts. Note they have different names for the functionality.
