About Evernote and its shortcuts

Evernote's keyboard covers creating a note, searching across everything, moving between notebooks and the list, and the formatting commands inside a note. Its global capture command, where available, is the one people remember.

Evernote has been rebuilt more than once and the newer application does not carry every command the older one had. Global commands depend on operating system permissions and can be disabled.
