See these inside Notes

This page is a snapshot. Notes changes its menus between versions, and some shortcuts only appear for what's selected. Keysi reads the menus of the Notes you're running: hold ⌘ and every shortcut shows up over the app, and clicking a row runs it.

That part of Keysi is free, with no time limit. For remembering them, see how to learn a Mac app's shortcuts.
