Anyone come up with a good way to create a cheat sheet?
Just used Excel or is there something better?

Print out so you have a quick reference on say a full set of Favorites and Quick Keys assignment for quick reference.

ARC536 will create a quick key listing. Sentinel should do the same thing.

I'm not sure if there is a way to do that with Sentinel, aside from doing it at the file (.hpe) level.
I'm old school; I created them manually. (Which is to say I used pen & paper and wrote them out.)

ARC536 creates a a listing and will then create an html file from that. I save the html file to the cloud and can open it in a web page on any of my PCs or phone.

Using the Snipping Tool in Windows you can pick and arrange to a limited extent Sentinel information to do a screen area copy and then paste into an editor. Two examples included.

I've had good luck with the spreadsheet approach. Makes searching & sorting easy. Depending on how long the cheat sheet is, maybe it can get printed on those small business card blanks you can print up yourself and then just laminate it.

What I do is bring up the Sentinel Sort Favorite Lists menu, press Ctrl+A to select all of that data and paste into Excel. In Excel I sort it by Quick Key and then copy all of the data and paste it in columns beside the numerically sorted data and then sort it by Favorite List Name.

Here's a snippet of what the final product looks like:
