Stumbling across the Vim Movements Shortcuts Wallpaper, I decided to make one for Emacs. Basically I really like the idea of having a real quick reference to the most important shortcuts on your desktop.
If you have any additional shortcuts that you would love to have, please leave a comment. If you want to modify the wallpaper, I uploaded the original PDF version of the wallpaper that you can easily modify with any tool of your choice.

Punch Card is a blog about software development. The title is a homage to the punch card or also known as punched card which was one of the first and most straightforward ways to persist digital information. Straightforward should also be the way of developing software, but in reality it is quite often a bumpy road. Our blog gives little hints, tutorials or small how-to instructions. Often, there is a bunch of people out there who face the same problem, so let's write the insights down !
The blog is run by Christian Tinnefeld and Martin Grund, two PhD candidates in the field of main-memory database technology at the Hasso Plattner Institute at the University of Potsdam, Germany. Enjoy !

Nice! I made an emacs one before making the vim one and it turned out similar to what you did. I never quite finished it as I couldn’t figure out what the appropriate thing to put in the lower right hand corner was, but I think that the C-x r stuff is a good choice. Just as vi and emacs get configured uniquely by every user, I think it makes sense for everyone to have their own cheatsheet for the things they want to remember.
Nice! Small error, C-f is forward-char, not C-a.
Perhaps add M-m (back-to-indentation), and C-j (newline-and-indent), which I find quite useful.
Thanks for the bug report. I fixed it and uploaded the new version + included the other two useful shortcuts. Especially M-m I tend to always forget.
[...] Finally, if you do a little googling, you can find other shortcut and cheatsheet wallpaper images, such as this one for Emacs. [...]
