Can I just say I loved reading the comments here. Some great suggestions!
> keyboard shortcuts for tmux, text editing, etc
tmux -> zellij has good discoverability of shortcuts. Since written in Rust, it can be installed with cargo
For vi, I don't have an alternative, the first thing I do on a machine without vi is get neovim, or vim, or vi. I mean, I don't know how good emacs is these days, and nano is limited but back when I started to use pico (which nano is a successor for) it had good discoverability.
My very first text UI editor was a DOS text editor called Q&A. All the F-keys were mentioned on the bottom. But once you know them, that information becomes redundant. Especially on a low resolution. So nowadays, given we hardly ever use 80x24 anymore, yet stuff looks good on high resolution (due to good DPI) it is only a minor sacrifice.
