I created a crib sheet for the #Helix text editor:

bobulous.org.uk/coding/Helix-c

Best viewed on a big screen.

As usual I intended the new page to be compact and concise; and as usual it ended up being huge and rambling. Hopefully it'll still be of use to people who aren't fully familiar with the most useful keys and commands. (And just maybe of vague interest to #Neovim users who are thinking about trying Helix.)

Let me know if you spot anything incorrect.

@tshepang Yeah, and I keep forgetting the key combo which lets you rotate text back and forth through selected positions: Alt+( and Alt+). Not something you need very often, but saves a lot of time and effort when you do realise a use for it.
