About Google Keep and its shortcuts
Google Keep is deliberately simple, and its keyboard matches: create a note or a list, move between notes, archive, and search. The navigation commands follow the pattern of other Google applications, so they will already feel familiar.
Keep is a web application and loses some combinations to the browser. The mobile applications do not share this keyboard at all.
