About Notion and its shortcuts
Notion is a document editor and a database in the same window, and its keyboard reflects both: formatting and block commands while writing, and navigation and view commands while working with a database. The quick search and the block creation commands are what make it fast.
Notion runs in a browser and as a desktop application, and the browser loses some combinations. Markdown-style typing shortcuts work alongside key combinations, which is a separate system from the one listed here.
