+    * `:set [setting] [value]`: Set a Tridactyl setting
+    * `:bind [key_sequence] [ex_command]`: Bind a key sequence to an ex-command
+    * `:tabopen [URL]`: Open a URL in a new tab
+    * `:winopen [URL]`: Open a URL in a new window

+    * `:tabdetach`: Detach the current tab into a new window
+=====Visual Mode (v)=====
+  * **v:** Enter visual mode
+    * **h / l:** Expand/reduce selection by one character
+    * **0 / $:** Expand selection to beginning/end of line
+    * **e / b:** Expand selection to next/previous word

+=====Extended Hint Modes (prefixed with `;`)=====
+  * **;i / ;I:** Open an image (current/new tab)
+  * **;s / ;a:** Save/save-as the linked resource
+  * **;S / ;A:** Save/save-as the selected image
+  * **;p.**: Copy an element's text to the clipboard
+  * **;P.**: Copy an element's title/alt text to the clipboard

+=====Other Important Commands=====
+  * **Shift + Insert:** Enable/disable "ignore mode" (pass all keys to the website)
+  * **Ctrl + Alt + Escape:** Temporarily disable/enable Tridactyl (similar to ignore mode)
+  * **.**: Repeat the last command
+  * **Ctrl-i (in a text box):** Open the text in an external editor (requires native Tridactyl installation)
+  * **[[ / ]]**: Navigate forward/backward through paginated pages (e.g., search results, multi-part articles)
+=====Important Notes=====
+  * **Case Sensitivity:** Hint characters (when using `f` or `F`) should be typed in lowercase.
+  * **Firefox Keybinds:** Tridactyl cannot override some native Firefox key combinations (e.g., `Ctrl-T` for new tab, `Ctrl-W` to close tab).
+  * **Configuration:** You can customize keybindings and settings extensively using the command line (e.g., `:bind`, `:set`).
+  * **`:` (Command Mode):** Many actions are available as "ex-commands" by typing a colon first.
+  * **`Ctrl-v`:** Bypass Tridactyl bindings for the next single keystroke (useful for passing a key directly to the website).
+This cheat sheet provides a solid foundation for using Tridactyl. For a complete and up-to-date list of commands and their descriptions, consult the official Tridactyl documentation by typing `:help` in your browser with Tridactyl installed.
