No need for a custom external cheat sheet, there is the built-in help.
:help iN
:help aN
send back to :in[sert] and :an[oremenu] so these two "moves" are not yet
defined in Normal or Operator-pending mode. Similarly there is no help
for v_iN or v_aN so they aren't taken (yet) in Visual mode either.

Near the top of
:help quickref.txt
you can see a two-column list with among others
|Q_tm| motion: Text object
|Q_to| Text objects
so double-clicking either of these green helptags (or hitting Ctrl-] on
them) will bring you to the corresponding help. Or you could use just
:help Q_tm
:help Q_to
for the same purpose. That's a built-in cheat sheet for you.


Best regards,
Tony.
