I'm trying out Obsidian for taking notes, and this made me laugh.

A lot of my personal dislike for VIM would be done away with if it just had a helpful common keys cheat sheet (basic cursor navigation, edit mode, exit with and without saving, etc) at the bottom of the editor window like Nano does.

Really, I'd just recommend using nano then. It's installed basically anywhere you can find vim and works perfectly fine as a text editor! To use vim effectively it has a learning curve no matter what, so it's not necessarily meant for everyone.

I understand where you're coming from, but as a frequent user of vim I'd much rather have the additional line of text.

It should be default on, with a setting to turn it off for power users

They could even have one of the commands on the cheatsheet be to hide it, so anyone who doesn't want it will immediately see how to turn it off.
