There you go; all the shortcuts known for Windows Live Writer 2011. You might want to print this out and keep it by for a little while until you find out which ones are the most useful to you.

Windows Live Writer doesn’t currently have a way to adjust the shortcuts to customize them for you; maybe next version.

If not already, download the latest version...
