Neovim Cheat Sheet

A modern and customizable take on the excellent viemu cheat sheet, supporting vanilla QWERTY as well as alternative keyboard layouts such as Colemak and Dvorak.

Project genesis

When I was first learning neovim, having a cheatsheet was incredibly helpful. There are many excellent ones online, but most of them were distributed as image files. That was fine if you use a QWERTY keyboard and don't want to customize your vimrc. But I use an alternative keyboard, Colemak. And I prefer to nnoremap some of my normal mode keys. I wanted an easy to manipulate the cheat sheet where I could first rearrange the keys to match my keyboard layout, and then test out other arrangements of keys to match my desired nnoremaps. I figured Google Sheets would be a simple way to experiment, and thus this project was born.

Code

There's a pretty rudimentary apps-script for generating the basic template included in this repo, but that's not required. It's something I used to bootstrap these Google Sheets.

Contributing

This project is designed in such a way that you are free to copy these Google Docs to your personal Google Drive and manipulate them however you wish (see Creative Commons Attribution license here). If you find a spelling, grammar, formatting, or accuracy issue, please submit a GitHub Issue and I will happily correct those kinds of errors in the master documents.

If there's a layout you wish were included, you are welcome to submit a GitHub Issue, however I cannot support every layout. Depending on the layout's viability and usefulness to a broad audience, I will likely recommend that you maintain your own document.

Please do not submit your personal neovim nnoremaps. I included a few Colemak samples just to whet your appetite to show how you can make your own, but they are not a contributable part of this project.

Note that fidelity in exporting to Excel is not in scope for this project. Please do not submit issues related to Excel.
