Overview 🖼️

Gocheat is a TUI app which allows you to create beautiful custom cheatsheets for your keybindings,hotkeys or shell aliases

I have hundreds of keybinds and tens of aliases that I can't remember, so I needed something that can look them up in seconds ;)

Features

• Fuzzy filtering mispell words and still find them. You also have 2 modes, filter by keybind/description or filter by tag, check Usage section for more info.

• Easily and quickly add and remove entries of keybindings or aliases via the TUI itself.

• Customize theme change the colors of gocheat to the ones you prefer.

• Lightweight

• Vim keys

Planned features

Tabs : Tabs which allow you to create multiple cheatsheets, for example one for keybinds and one for shell aliases

Pin items: Pinned items will be shown first before all items so you dont even have to filter frequently forgotten items

Themes 🎨

Colors for the Theme can be configured in ~/.config/gocheat/config.json in "styles":{}

{
  "items": [
    {
      "title": "Minimize Window : meta + m",
      "tag": "Kwin"
    },
    {
      "title": "Maximize window : meta + up",
      "tag": "Kwin"
    },
  ],
  "styles": {
    "subtext": "#6c7086",
    "accent": "#b4befe"
  }
}

Important❗ The background color for gocheat is derived the background color of your terminal

In the coming updates the color for the filter,cursor and the arrow icon for the forms will be configurable

Usage ⚙️

Once you have launched the TUI you can hit ctrl+h to show the Help screen which shows you the keybinds for every screen. The tldr version of them are :

Keybinds	Description	Screen
ctrl+j	Add an entry	List
Enter	Confirm an entry	Form
ctrl+x	Delete an entry	List
/	Start filtering	List
ctrl+f	Toggle Filter by Tag	List
esc	Go back to the List screen or exit filtering	-
ctrl+c	Exit the app	-
ctrl+k	view your tags	List

Notes 🗒️: You can modify the ~/.config/gocheat/config.json directly to add,remove,edit entries
