This is supposed to be a complete list of keyboard shortcuts. Note that some of these may work only in certain contexts (e.g. in tree pane or note editor).
It is also possible to configure most keyboard shortcuts in Options -> Keyboard shortcuts. Using global: prefix, you can assign a shortcut which will work even without Trilium being in focus (requires app restart to take effect).
