Your cheat sheet is almost all we need. I would only add two of the most important ones:

"^": segment start; and

"$": segment end

Oh, there are much better ones. Both Marek Pawelec and Anthony Rudd have done very nice syntax handouts you can find in various places. Anthony's is in the Files section of the Facebook memoQ Users group. I'm not sure where or if Marek has posted his anywhere; he just gave me a copy last January in some classes we taught together in Lisbon.

For my personal use, I just add stuff (useful syntax I never remember) to my Regex Assistant library with the tag "cheat sheet", then I export expressions with that keyword and do XSLT on the export to make a pretty HTML page of it all. The subject of a future post, actually, and shown several times in public lectures on regex library management.
