A while ago I made a dense cheat sheet for Helix. It's a touch out of date, but still possibly useful. https://github.com/stevenhoy/helix-cheat-sheet


It’s great! How did you do it? I printed it out months ago and wondered how to do one myself


Manually, using Omnigraffle. It's not text-driven like Mermaid or Typst. I made a list of all the commands in the docs, grouped them by similarity and then created tables in Omnigraffle. OG has a very cool scale-text-and-graphics feature that allowed the boxes to re-size nicely on the page.

I learned a lot doing it, and thought others would find it useful.

So, there's no source to share, other than the OG file. It seems I have some options: 1) update it myself, or 2) let others make another (utensil has started one using Typst; it's at https://github.com/utensil/helix-cheat-sheet).

I always appreciate the work of others to make useful things, and wanted to give something back, no matter how small. Given my other commitments it will take me about a month or so to bring it up to date.

stappersg opened an issue in the repo (https://github.com/stevenhoy/helix-cheat-sheet/issues/1) - Ill post this comment there and ask for feedback.


Amazing work, Tank you. Looking forward to the update

Hey nice to have you here. I found your cheatsheet and printed it out a while ago :D


I'm glad you liked it. I keep meaning to update it (work and life get in the way), if the demand is there.

(edited for grammar)


Looking forward to when you might! Also have this on my wall
