Yea, I don't think there's a keyboard shortcut for this. However, if you set a keyboard shortcut for Change Text Shape Type, you can hit it twice, and it will sorta do what you want—by changing the type object to a point text and then converting it back to paragraph text.

I've tested this, and it works for the vertical size. But it generally leaves a lot of extra room on the non-flushed / ragged side. It also doesn't work when you have non-zero margins set.

After a little experimenting, it seems that the extra space added to the non-aligned side is a lot smaller when you use larger font sizes. And for some reason, this remains true even if you scale down the text area. So starting with a larger version of the text object and scaling it down is a workaround.

I've never heard of such a shortcut.

You can resize the type via Command/Ctrl - Shift - < or Command/Ctrl - Shift - >

But only the mouse will resize a text area.
