In that case, `C-h m' and `C-h b' come to mind. Or if you want to know/print the bindings of a particular keymap (by name), `C-h M-k' from library help-fns+.el does that (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/help-fns%2b.el). FWIW - Personally, I've never seen much utility in cheat sheets for Emacs. I confess that I did make some for myself when I was a newbie, but I never really bothered with them after I discovered Emacs's integrated help (`C-h m', `C-h b', `C-h k', `C-h w', `C-h a', `M-x apropos', etc.). No doubt the _act of making_ such a sheet manually can help one learn some keys, but beyond that I don't see much point in them. Just one opinion, of course.
