Drew:
I am not looking for a cheatsheet facility *for* emacs but using emacs
and (perhaps) orgmode.
Rather I want to maintain my own shell-scripting, sysadmining etc
notes -- small tricks, arcane command line parameters, obscure
commands etc that Ive invested a lot of google/man-pages on and that
Ive forgotten after a couple of weeks/months/years.
Glauber:
NIH is one of the reasons for asking this question. The requirement
seems simple and general enough that surely others have worked out
setups...
I dont want the ruby-cheat because:
1. It seems overkill to use (and have installed) ruby just to show
something which is almost entirely a plain-text file
Whats the problem with having ruby installed in an age of cheap TB
disks you may ask. One debian upgrade is currently costing me upto 6
hours of download (at worst) and I dont like to increase that with
excess cruft. Ruby is hardly the worst offender in a world of gnome,
ooffice, latex etc but still it is cruft if its only use is cheat.
2. The publicly available cheatsheets associated with ruby-cheat have
a strong rails-orientation -- not of use to me at the moment. In any
case the idea of public cheat sheets is a bit questionable: Say theres
something like ls which has a hundred command line arguments of which
I want to remember 3. Would you want to remember the same 3?
3. Writing org-mode is much more natural (to me) than writing yaml
