chtrs

Table of Contents

chtrs—Cheat Sheets TUI—is a small Rust application for keeping keyboard shortcuts and command references directly in the terminal.

It loads plain YAML cheat sheets, presents them in a focused Ratatui interface, and lets you filter sheets by typing. There is no account, database, or remote service: the reference material remains in files you control.

Highlights

  • Fast native terminal interface built with Rust, Ratatui, and Crossterm.
  • Project-local and user-wide cheat sheet discovery.
  • Simple YAML format organized into sections and key/description pairs.
  • Built-in examples for tools such as Neovim, Yazi, Lazygit, Norn, and hum.
  • Keyboard navigation and live sheet-name filtering.

How it fits

chtrs is designed for the moment when you know a tool can do something but do not remember its exact shortcut. Run chtrs, type part of the sheet name, read the relevant section, and return to your work without leaving the terminal.
