I use Claude Code daily but kept forgetting commands, so I had Claude research every feature from the docs and GitHub, then generate a printable A4 landscape HTML page covering keyboard shortcuts, slash commands, workflows, skills system, memory/CLAUDE.md, MCP setup, CLI flags, and config files. It's a single HTML file - Claude wrote it and I iterated on the layout. A daily cron job checks the changelog and updates the sheet automatically, tagging new features with a "NEW" badge. Auto-detects Mac/Windows for the right shortcuts. Shows current Claude Code version and a dismissable changelog of recent changes at the top. It will always be lightweight, free, no signup required: https://cc.storyfox.cz Ctrl+P to print. Works on mobile too.

that is quite helpful, thanks!

Is something updated daily a good target to be printable?

The fact this needs to exist seems like a UX red flag.

CMD + V to paste an image is wrong. On Mac it's the same as Windows, CTRL + V. You use CMD + V to paste text.

Thanks for putting this together! It's really nice to have a quick reference of all the features at a glance — especially since new features are being added all the time. Saves a lot of digging through docs.

Shocking how far ahead Claude Code is from Codex on the CLI front.

I think this is the argument for UIs - it should be self-explanatory since it's singificantly simpler than an IDE

There’s actually a lot more environment variables: edit: removed obnoxious list in favor of the link that @thehamkercat shared below. My favorite is IS_DEMO=1 to remove a little bit of the unnecessary welcome banner.

If only there was some kind of tool that could answer helpful questions about technology instead of needing a cheat sheet.

It's missing the most important CLI flag! (--dangerously-skip-permissions)

This just exposes why UI like Codex, Cursor, T3 Code, Conductor, Intent, etc are necessary. This is a bit intense.

The link to the changelog on the page got me wondering what the change history looks like (as best we can see). I asked chatgpt to chart the number of new bullet points in the CHANGELOG.md file committed by day. I did nothing to verify accuracy, but a cursory glance doesn't disagree: https://imgur.com/a/tky9Pkz

needs a literal /dark mode

Undo (typing): Ctrl + _ (Ctrl + underscore) Applies to the line editor outside of CC as well.

Ctrl + S - Stash

Proposition: Every power user feature added lowers Anthropic’s market cap $1B and OpenAI’s $10B.

Wait, why do we need chat sheets for this like it's (gasp!) a programming language, tool or IDE? it's almost like if the thing is not intelligent at all and just another abstraction on top of what we already had.

Just ask it, this is not needed

personally I'm a fan of "ultrathink squared"
