What does this page cover?

This page lists 168 keyboard shortcuts for Evernote across five areas: application-wide actions, global commands, the navigation menu, the note editor, and the note list. It is a reference to scan while you work, not a step-by-step guide.

Which sections are worth learning first?

The note editor shortcuts are the most immediately useful, since that is where you spend most of your time writing. The note list shortcuts become handy once you are managing a larger collection of notes.

Are the Mac and Windows shortcuts the same?

The layouts are similar but the modifier keys differ. Mac uses Command where Windows uses Ctrl, and a handful of shortcuts do not map one-to-one between platforms. Check the column for your OS to avoid confusion.
