And also "Create new item as child of current" - basically what CTRL-Q does, but it always defaults to No Container, which slows down my workflow. Speed of data entry is critical for me if I'm going to switch to this.

There's a list of shortcut combinations within the help documentation. You can also find it in the
Files section of the FB Group.

I was surprised to note that when I searched in RW, it seems like it's restricted to the current "volume". For example, I added Magic Missiles as a spell in the Mechanics Reference section. But if I do a CTRL-SHIFT-F search for Magic Missile while I'm in an article in the World Almanac section, it finds nothing. Is there a global search I'm missing?

The search feature is broken across the two divides of Realm Works. World Content and Mechanical Content. There is a search bar at the top which searches on all topics that are visible in the current view. There is no way to view all topics at once though due to this divide. Alas One Notes search is fantastic and Realm Works is clunkier than the One Note search feature for sure. The benefit of Realm Works though is you don't need to search. Very rarely anyway. Once you have topics for these things you will find they are usually already linked from where they are referenced anyway.

So often times in One Note, I'll say "Room W2 has an encounter with 5 twig blights and a druid", so I simply copy their stat blocks onto the page together, and off I go. Here, Stat blocks seem to be handled in child windows one at a time with a semi-clunky editor. So anyone else have any suggestions for how to quickly have all of the relevant stats for a given encounter on-screen at once?

Not sure on your experience. I find Hero Lab to be very efficient. You can set Realm Works up the same way as you did in One Note though. You could paste in a picture of the stat blocks you need into the place you are documenting the encounter. Personally if I am planning a large encounter I will create a Hero Lab portfolio that contains all the monsters. It's the most efficient approach I've found. You could also create a topic for a specific encounter and put all the stat blocks within it.
