Vi (vim) is so rich in features that the bottom of the screen likely isn't big enough for most tastes.
Don't know if it'll satisfy your desire for a "list of critical" commands or not, but you can issue the ":help" command while in the editor to search for any kind of help you'll need. It shouldn't take more than a few seconds to answer your "ZZ, zz,...." question. Just be sure to spend some time with the navigation instructions at the opening help screen.
