      Hi everyone; if you haven't received your poster yet and you're worried it's been lost in the mail, please send me a Kickstarter message, and I'll find your USPS tracking number so we can figure out what's going on. I didn't distribute the numbers, since most of them don't have progress info, but it's at least a starting point!

      @Brandon - Glad you got your poster! Use it in good health :-)

    12. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on August 29, 2012

      @Jon & Mike - USPS was sparse on tracking info, but the estimated delivery date for both of you was yesterday; if you still don't have your posters on Friday, please message me!

      @Revell - I couldn't get an estimated delivery time for international shipments, so I'm not sure what the expected date should be, but I would give it until the end of next week, since your package was one of the later non-domestic packages to be shipped.

      @Rocky - Any sign of your package? USPS tracking opines that it has been delivered; let me know if they are in err!

      Creator alc82 on June 18, 2012

      If there was an emacs cheat sheet on the back side it would contain a single lisp command to spawn vim.

    21. Missing_small

      Creator Infonautic on June 18, 2012

      @Ross Timson
      An emacs sheet on the back-side, so you can turn around if you like. The posibility for the need of both sides ist most unlikely ;-)

    22. Me1.small

      Creator Ross Timson on June 18, 2012

      This may be considered evil by many but I'd love to see a similar poster for emacs too; maybe an idea for the extra money that was raised but to be fair I'd be more than willing to pledge again for one.

    23. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on June 14, 2012

      @Hazel - There will be a short survey sent out once the designs are done to collect that information; keep an eye out for it soon!

    24. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on June 14, 2012

      @Ken - The digital copies will indeed be sent out by e-mail.

    25. Missing_small

      Creator Hazel Smith on June 14, 2012

      Hi there, I haven't noticed an email or anything about $50 and $100 backer names to go on the posters, will there be a survey thing, or will you just be using our names as they appear on Kickstarter?

      (As it so happens, my name does indeed appear correctly on Kickstarter, so "Hazel Smith" (without quotes) is fine for me...)

    26. Headshit.small

      Creator Ken Garland on June 11, 2012

      What about the digital copies? Will we get them in an email?

    27. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on June 11, 2012

      @Sam - I'll be shipping the posters out this month; US backers should have them before July. I'll update everyone with more info soon!

      Any update on shipping ETA?

      I know I am late but I would like a printed poster. Will they be available via a different channel?

      Awesome, can't wait to see the end result!

      Creator James Mullineux on May 31, 2012

      Excellent. I for one would rather wait for a really good poster rather than rush Max.

    32. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on May 31, 2012

      Hello, all! The original plan was indeed to have the posters shipped in May, but since it funded so successfully, I decided mid-last-month to take some extra time and really hit a home run with the design. The posters will be shipped out in June, which is soon. So keep an eye out for updates, because they are on their way!

    33. Missing_small

      Creator Michael on May 28, 2012

      Any update on how the design of the poster is going? Will these still ship in May?

    34. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Any updates on when these are expected to get shipped out?

      Hi im representing a hacker space called 091 labs(http://091labs.com) based in
      Galway Ireland.
      we funded your 25 dollar tier plus the recommned 10 for shipping.

      There are alot of linux users in the space really looking forward to getting there hands on the cheat sheet so it will be put to good use.

    36. Headshit.small

      Creator Ken Garland on May 11, 2012

      not sure if you included anything about markers but it would make for a nice addition. http://www.cs.swarthmore.edu/help/vim/markers.html

    37. Dsc00439.small

      Creator Jason Barney on May 10, 2012

      I would definitely include the text replacing functions, I use them all the time but often need to refer back:
      :%s/find/replace/g

    38. Missing_small

      Creator Luis on May 9, 2012

      Quick question... Will the $25 dollar include both the poster size AND letter size cheat sheet? I certainly would like both for home and on-the-go use.

    39. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on May 8, 2012

      @Shaun: They should be shipped out by the end of this month! I might take some extra time if it means being able to vastly improve the design even more, but I don't want to keep people waiting too long. Don't worry--there will be updates along the way so you can keep track!

    40. Missing_small

      Creator Shaun on May 8, 2012

      I have to ask due to lack of patience and excitement: When can we expect to get our posters?

    41. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on May 8, 2012

      @Joseph: After the funding period is completed (this Thursday), there will be a survey that collects that kind of information. So, keep an eye out for it this weekend!

      Where do we submit our name if we're a $50+ backer?

    45. Missing_small

      Creator Erik Haugvaldstad on May 6, 2012

      As a Vim newbie ( literally just downloaded it two weeks ago) I foresee much usage of this cheat-sheet.

    46. Unbeard-sq.small

      Creator Max Cantor on May 5, 2012

      @alc82: A thorough regular expression quick-reference is beyond the scope of this cheat-sheet, but I will probably include some basics (like the backreferences you mentioned, which rule).

      Incidentally, did you know about \U, \L, and \E, which you can use to change the case of substituted backreferences?

      Also, most people don't realize that you can use any delimiter with the :substitute command, not just forward slash. If you're working with text that has a lot of slashes, you can just do something like :s_high/low_range_!

    47. Missing_small

      Creator alc82 on May 5, 2012

      Any chance regular expressions will end up on the cheat sheet? I love using the \( \) and \1 \2 \3 notations.

    48. Icon.small

      Creator delirium_light on May 2, 2012

      Another thing - if you ever do an emacs cheat sheet - let me know. I could REALLY use one of those too :)

    49. Icon.small

      Creator delirium_light on May 2, 2012

      Wow. This. Is. AWESOME!
      It's just what I need, exactly when I need it.

      Stick with paper stock that can be rolled into a tube for shipping IMO

Maybe I'm missing something, or the design could be improved by X and Y.

However, I do guarantee that I will listen to you in earnest before deciding what to do. Includes your name in the credits from the $50 reward, and high-res image from the $10 reward.
