A single-page, print-ready A4 cheat sheet for the Helix editor keymap — every binding from the official keymap docs, laid out in three dense columns with keycap-styled keys and section icons.
Two versions:
| File | Best for | |
|---|---|---|
| Black & white | helix-cheatsheet-bw.pdf |
Printing — light-gray headers, thin rules, no solid-black areas (won't smudge on most printers) |
| Color | helix-cheatsheet-color.pdf |
Screen / color printing — mode-coded colored headers |
Just grab the PDF and print it on A4 (enable Background graphics if printing the HTML directly).
