Description of the new feature/enhancement

The learning curve for the keyboard shortcuts is quite steep. This is a shame, especially because of low GUI (pointer) support.
I've created this Windows Terminal Cheat Sheet

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Feel free to link to this cheat sheet in your docs or repo if you find it useful.

Somebody doesn't know how to check the project for documents: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/doc/cascadia/SettingsSchema.md and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/get-started

@WSLUser what's your point?

Of course I read the docs. I even linked from the cheat back to the docs. But where docs are elaborate and concise, they can also be overwhelming and provide a poor overview. Both for newcomers and pros. WT may even lose potential users because of this.

Personally, I way annoyed enough that I took my precious time to make the cheat. And 1000 visits on the cheat within the first 2 days tells me, that I'm not alone.

The option to move to a different pane is missing....

moveFocus | Focus on a different pane depending on direction. | direction* | left, right, up, down | Direction in which the focus will move.

Hi @Luuk34, it does include "Alt-arrows | Move pane focus". Thanks for your feedback.

It seems straight forward to me. If you think the docs can be improved then submit a PR.

Hey @th0ger, this is awesome. 😊 Would you mind filing a PR on the docs repo? I think having a "key bindings quick guide" is a wonderful idea.

WOW! This is so cool. It is much better fit for the docs repo as Kayla called out.
