Browser shortcuts take priority. Some combinations belong to the browser and cannot be captured by a web page — Ctrl N, Ctrl W and Ctrl T for example. That is why "new note" uses Ctrl Alt N.

On a phone or tablet

External keyboards work with all of the shortcuts above on iPadOS and Android. Without a keyboard, use the toolbar — it scrolls sideways, and the ⋯ button in the top bar holds per-document actions.
