This is great! Thank you very much for putting it together.

nice one, exactly what i need to migrate from vim to spacemacs

how to if you have multiple lines to space?

You can search for hotkeys by using SPC ?

Please add SPC f e d

Thanks, this looks helpful! The Git section is tough to read though, did you mean to leave out the bullet points for some reason?

This is great! You could also add fd to vim to quickly switch from insert mode to normal mode.

Heyyy, I didn't realise this had any stars or comments! Thanks 🙏
I haven't used Spacemacs in a couple years now, so haven't been updating this, and probably won't I'm afraid. Maybe someone wants to link to a more up to date fork or repo that is being maintained? 🎆

Also, apologies for the Git section, it doesn't have any formatting, I got tired/lazy and never got round to fixing it.

Maybe you could add C-j for inserting a breakline right before the cursor in editing section, recently discovered it and its super useful for breaking long lines up.

@robphoenix Given how much it's taken off, with all the likes and forks, I've made a github repo based on this.
https://github.com/Ben-PH/spacemacs-cheatsheet

The initial commit is a copy paste of this, but with a general cleanup, particularly in the Git section.

Feel free to have the link at the top of the gist. I do plan to keep it maintained, take PRs, etc.

Great, thanks @Ben-PH, I've added a link 👍 🎉
