What now may seem crazy to you, too much information and until you find it a greater waste of time to have to look at it, is actually an investment of time since little by little you will memorize them, even without realizing it, especially the of the functions that you use the most, which in the end are the ones that interest you the most.
If you want, you can make your own cheat sheet, print them, copy the ones that are most useful or difficult to memorize... As always, each little teacher has his booklet, right?
