Briefly call out to readers that some terminals may have default key mappings that aren't compatible with Helix and point them to the wiki where known conflicts are logged. I've already added a line to the Windows Terminal section about Ctrl-v bindings not working by default due to that terminal's default “Paste” binding.
Conflicting mappings were a problem for me with Windows Terminal: #10295 (comment) Since it was on the list of supported terminals in the wiki, I expected it to “just work™”, so when Ctrl-v mappings didn't, I initially raised an issue about it. Having a call-out like this, plus documentation of known conflicts on the wiki, would help users like me who encounter similar issues.
