There are some good cheat sheets on the net and they tell you about ALL 
of the vi options and commands--more than you ever wanted to know about 
vi. for an analogy, most of us neither need, want, or know ALL of the 
Office commands--even for the Office app we use most. You use what could 
be called "a useful subset". Attached is handout describing my useful 
subset of vi commands. In other words, these are the commands that I use 
enough to remember. If you need an additional something, there's always 
the complete cheat sheet to fall back on.

Hope it helps.
