I will try to produce an org file but the real utility would be if we
could find a way to produce a pdf out it. My skills are limited and I
really do not know if there is a way to specify a template that will
export the org file with the desired layout. 

The utility of an org file (against a tex or a pdf file) will be that
the org gile will allow users to to easily customise their
refcards. That is, if I am interested in a subset of commands rather
than the whole set, an org file could be easily edited and then
exported.

Wonder if it interests the community.
