RE: [libreoffice-users] OTT keyboard customization

That will be interesting.  I'd love to see a list of the WordStar keyboard commands.

I remember using WordStar and also their text Editor (TextStar , I think) but it has been a long 
time -- around 30 years), both on CP/M-80.  WordStar 2000 on MS-DOS was not so hot and I turned my 
back on it.  (My next favorite was Borland Sprint, based on a word processor from the UK, I 
believe.)

Now, the way these things works the various control-key combinations that started out in WordStar 
tended to find their way into later products, even though WordStar itself is long gone.

There is an interesting account of this in Wikipedia, 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordstar#Interface>.  It mentions that the Turbo Pascal IDE (on a 
text interface) used the WordStar diamond, and I believe the Microsoft Editor, ME, designed for 
developers (and that I favored for a long time) also supported some of the Word Star keyboard 
command sequences.

I am not sure, I would need to see some typical commands/key combinations. I am not very familiar 
with WordStar, I understand it is abandonware. I vaguely remember it from about 20 years ago but 
never used it.
