I have been using nano on my kindles, but now that I know that joe uses WordStar keys, I will have to use joe instead. My "muscle memory" knows the WordStar keys from the olden days, and that really aids my "coding trance" sessions. Thanks!

EDIT: This will only work for me using SSH. Now we need to get USB OTG working for external keyboard access too!
