If there are no shortcuts left I would vote for reassigning ctrl-R for
executing a selection of consecutive lines of code, as in SPSS.

This would make the shortcut more versatile: you can use it for a single
line with ctrl-C and ctrl-R as well as for a number of consecutive lines.
If you group all lines with ctrl-A and then use ctrl-R you would be able to
run the entire code of a syntax file, too.
