shortcuts:

Bold, Italic, Underline. Press Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, or Ctrl+U.

Strikethrough style. Press Ctrl+T.

Create a bulleted list. Press Ctrl+Shift+L.

Deleting Notes

To get rid of a note, hit its button on the Notes List. Or choose and hit
“Delete note.” When the program asks if you’re sure, click Yes.

On the other hand, you can exit Sticky Notes without worrying that you’ll
lose what you’ve already typed. All your notes will be there the next time
you open the app.
