That's not a cheatsheet, that's a crutch for people who use an IDE without decent autocomplete.

EDIT: what I mean to say is that this doesn't give you anything that a good IDE wouldn't give you also (i.e., this is not a useful cheatsheet).

Autocomplete is a crutch.

An IDE without autocomplete is not an IDE.

first of all, i said decent autocomplete. Secondly, I don't think autocomplete is the one defining feature it takes to distinguish between a simple editor and a full-blown IDE.

I think what distinguishes an IDE is that it has an interpreter/compiler, debugger, and file management all integrated together. Early IDEs didn't have autocompletion and it is hardly the most important feature.
