A valid point, but as with Wikipedia, if you don't want 100% accuracy
(rather an introductory overview), googling is usually quicker.

The problem is sometimes that it's too complete, and isn't organized by
the person who's looking for the information (naturally). Google often
cuts through that problem (e.g. by allowing synonyms that the help
writer didn't consider, or terms that aren't fully correct).

In this particular case, all of the following queries lead directly to
relevant information, so the OP just needed to try harder (, no offense):

vim mapping shortcuts -- the subject of this email, plus 'vim'
vim key maps
vim key mapping
vim keyboard shortcut
