However, I think that a simple help screen (in the statusbar) should
be much more effective than a zillion words that few bother to read.
Consider e.g. the following screen toggleable in joe with ^KH (missing
formatting in this message). It has all the basic bindings quickly
visible, so you can just try them to find out what works.
Help Screen turn off with ^KH more help with ESC . (^[.)
CURSOR GO TO BLOCK DELETE MISC EXIT
^B left ^F right ^U prev. screen ^KB begin ^D char. ^KJ reformat ^KX save
^P up ^N down ^V next screen ^KK end ^Y line ^KA center ^C abort
^Z previous word ^A beg. of line ^KM move ^W >word ^T options ^KZ shell
^X next word ^E end of line ^KC copy ^O word< ^R refresh FILE
SEARCH ^KU top of file ^KW file ^J >line SPELL ^KE edit
^KF find text ^KV end of file ^KY delete ^_ undo ^[N word ^KR insert
^L find next ^KL to line No. ^K/ filter ^^ redo ^[L file ^KD save
I think this sounds like a great idea.
