Since we advise beginner users to keep a list of commands on file, and it even has such article in the wiki i decided to share with you my list of frequently used command. However, i decided i want it a bit more fancy and interactive, so i made it in form of a dialog menu. Here it is, my menu.sh
The most recent version you can find at github:
Changelog: Releases · teou1/manjarocheatsheet · GitHub
For the beginner users: save it as a file menu.sh in the ~/.local/bin hidden Folder (create if needed) then right click and in the permissions tab in properties select allow to execute as a program.
Then you can start in the terminal with menu.sh. You can even make a launcher on the panel, just don’t forget to set it to run in terminal and append -launcher at the end of the command. And if some subcommand does not work, check if you have the dependency in the comment on the corresponding line. Like this in a XFCE panel:
If for some reason, the default colours are not to your liking, one can easily theme dialog. Here is an example black-red theme. Just put the file as .dialogrctheme in your home.

By the way, if you use xfce, you can make your desktop shortcut on the panel a bit fancier, for example the terminal can be automatically maximized, etc.:
xfce4-terminal --maximize --title=Cheatsheet --hide-menubar --hide-toolbar -e "/home/teo/.local/bin/cheatsheet4.sh"
And another, more manjaro like theme:
