It's probably been too long since I learnt R to be of much use - most

the R reference card (http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/R-refcard.pdf) would be
a good place to start?
That is indeed a great summary of the key commands! I'll see what I
can do with those.
What I've been thinking is, for more obsure commands, to have
something like the "Insert Command Template" command, except with a
shorter list of commands, and with explanations for each command, so
that people could search for them with keywords. Then perhaps we
could put those in a Markdown document, so that a cheatsheet could
show up on demand.
That's a nice idea, and would be fairly easy to generate automatically
from the built in help. If you let me know what format you are
thinking of, I can probably help you extract it from the
documentation.
Basically, I am thinking it should be something fairly simple. Here
is the typical structure I am envisioning, for the file that will
contain the information:
sum(x) <---- This line is simply the syntax for the
command. It will be used to create snippets.
# This line contains a one line summary of what the command does.
This will be showing up as the explanation for the command.
# <------- One empty comment line for clarity
# These lines should describe what the command does, what the
parameters need to be etc
# They can be as many as we want. These will be providing a more
detailed usage information.
# I am thinking of them as a condensed version of all the
explanations in the online help.
# Example: perhaps an example of a call could be placed here. All
examples should be preceded
# by the Example: keyword.
The next command goes here.
