So I've been doing things with LINQ lately and I've been looking online for a complete list of all integrated LINQ keywords and i couldn't find any.
These are some of the ones i know:
from in
let
group by into
orderby
where
select
Are there any others that I don't know about? Where can I go to find a complete list of all the things possible with integrated LINQ?

Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) is the name for a set of technologies based on the integration of query capabilities directly into the C# language. Traditionally, queries against data are expressed as simple strings without type checking at compile time or IntelliSense support.
What is LINQKit? LINQKit is a free set of extensions for LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework power users. It comprises the following: An extensible implementation of AsExpandable() A public expression visitor base class (ExpressionVisitor)
LINQ syntax is typically less efficient than a foreach loop. It's good to be aware of any performance tradeoff that might occur when you use LINQ to improve the readability of your code.
These operators return a Boolean value i.e. True or False when some or all elements within a sequence satisfy a specific condition.
You need to distinguish in your mind between the standard LINQ query operators and the operators that are supported in C# by query expressions. There are far more of the former than the latter - and VB supports some of them in the language directly.
For quite a bit of detail about all the different operators, and which query expression parts bind to them, you may want to read my Edulinq blog post series. It's a reimplementation of LINQ to Objects for educational purposes, looking at how each operator behaves etc. Part 41 is explicitly about query expressions, including a cheat sheet at the bottom.

You can read the official MSDN documentation here. Another good reference can be found on odetocode.
Edit:
I just wanted to clarify that what you're looking for are the C# keywords for LINQ, not operators.
