Nice work on the cheat sheet! I’ve got a post on my Neovim & tmux key maps, along with plugins like Telescope and nvim-tree. Feel free to check it out: Link to the post
Maybe it will help someone.

@ayoubsousali nice list. I noticed this section, there is a simpler way of doing this: yiw to yank the word then viwp to paste over the second word. v enter select mode iw select inside the word, finally p to put the yanked word.

I have viwp set as a shortcut with <leader>+p
