This might be what you're looking for. One day I'll try Emacs, because it 
would be nice to actually be able to
compare it to Vim properly. All I ever do is fire it up and then find I
can't do anything, even get out, so I kill the process. I can never
remember the exit incantation! With Vi I had a short crib sheet for the
basics that got me going in minutes. I should really find one for Emacs
before I next fire it up!
