I found an informational cheat sheet for the commodore 64 that can be mostly relevant to the X16...
I think it could be of help for anyone-one who would like to quickly read through it, as a parallel.
I also posted this on our facebook group... But I couldn't post the PDF file.....
It is 2-sided so, there is more to the PDF than the photo.
Best regards Shaun

Re: Cheat Sheet
Pretty good. Just please remember that VERA has a completely different memory map for the purpose of PEEKs and POKEs, you need to take into account the HIMEM and ROM/Expansion memory tranches, and Commander X16 BASIC includes extra reserved words and syntax for things like Sprite Calls, making new YM2151/2164 FM instruments, and either linking/binding sound samples, or coding them by hand for the PCM channel.
Methinks this cheat sheet needs a few additions and revisions.

Re: Cheat Sheet
Anyone could make a new one...
The PDF is actually "editable" that can be made to suit the X16 if you wanted to go that way also.
Either way..... POKE $9F2C now changes the border color, the "COLOR" command now changes background & text.
The whole sound section would have to be redone, and I would love to have a cheat-sheet for sound and the VERA; for tips & tricks..
That could be rewritten ....
I do like this sheet, as it shows commands with the printer, tape, and disk... and however backwards this sounds... one-day, that could be done too.
If it was ever done in any form ... that would be great.....
