Okay, there will never truly be a list of all shortcuts. But I tried my best to compile as large of a list as I could from what I remember and from the internet.
If you know more, please contribute.
I hope it helps. <3
Here are some crucial Windows 11 keyboard shortcuts that I've had difficulty discovering.
win + shift + T = windows ocr (Image to text)
ctrl + shift + t = restore closed tab
win + v = clipboard (all the text I copied so far)
win + shift + s = crop area and screenshot
win + ; = emoji
win + prntscrn = screenshot saved
win + Tab Open Task View (switch between apps & desktops)
ctrl + win + o = on screen keyboard
win + L = lock screen
win + x + uu = shut down (uu means press u 2 times)
win + shift + R = Hard Refresh (it will clear cache of a webpage and reload it freshly)
win + x = secret start menu
--- Some Extra ---
Space = auto scroll bottom on any browser page
f11 = full screen on any app
hold Shift while clicking with your mouse on a taskbar icon, it opens a new instance of that app.
for example, a second instance of Chrome lets you load a different profile while the first one is logged in. Or having two text files open at the same time in Notepad.
Of course we start with the standard Ctrl + Z to undo, Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V, these we all know. But what are some more advanced ones to have under our sleeves?
One of the useful ones I've used for years is Win + X + various keys like C to open CMD, or U to enter shut down and restart options. Can do a lot from Win + X menu with just keys, useful if you didn't have a mouse for any reason but also saves big on time.
Also Win + Shift + S.
