About Microsoft OneNote and its shortcuts

OneNote is a freeform notebook, so its shortcuts cover moving between notebooks, sections and pages as much as writing: tagging, inserting, and the screen clipping tool that sends something straight into a page.

There are several OneNote applications, including the desktop one and the version bundled with Windows, and they do not share every command. Shortivo publishes the Windows list.
