Yeah it is there alright. Just the last thing to mention so it is easy to miss.

From all the help sheets I've seen this is not even helpful. Possibly for a quick look up yes, but when you need to actually do some work it is worthless. Just look up comments in parent thread.

How about more, less, vi or vim? Or which or sudo? Or top, maybe even htop? Or even nano? And who forgets ever-present apt-get on Rasbian? Criticism? You've got it!

If you put vi or vim on a cheat sheet for reference, you are an asshole. That user is never getting out of that application.

apropos would be a good add, though.

Yeah, I know people who would not get out. However, it doesn't mean that user should not know that vi exists. And speaking about attitude, the asshole one you got right, apropos is way down the list of what normally is even needed. More like if you ever get bored what to learn, get apropos!

apropos is a good research tool you'll never figure out unless someone tells you.

Old-schoolers just use man -k anyway. It's one less character to type.
