My VIM cheatsheet

To help me learn VIM keys, I put together a cheat sheet which I load onto my desktop much like how I handle my calendar/todo.

I'm not sure how much this cheat sheet will help others because I left out the commands that I already know well and left the commands that I'm currently learning. I expect that I'll update the list as I get more familiar with VIM.
