Don't fear (g)VI[m]! Thus reference is handy for beginners as well as seasoned users who've got a bit rusty. It's a chest sheet. It's not complete. We've all got out favorite hidden tricks, but a section on selecting blocks (hint - v V) seems odd to be missing (or am I overlooking something? I can think of a couple of features that would improve this app, but but unless I write one myself this cheat sheet is good stuff.

I initially found this app lacking roo much information but this 2-star rating is mainly because it can be horribly inaccurate. I mean the author could have bothered to mention the mode of the command at least when it gets ambiguous like ctrl-u to delete to the beginning of the line. If i didn't know beforehand that it is an insert mode command i would have been pissed off at this quality. This app really needs major proof reading for the small handful of commands in there.

I like the command coverage of this app, but the navigation really sucks. Once I select a topic area I see no way to return to the main menu. I have to kill and restart the app to move to another topic.
