If I could get WordStar keystrokes in LibreOffice Writer I would be happy, but I would probably still write the first draft in Jstar. Extremely fast and clean. I've set up small scripts (like DOS batch files, I think "scripts" is the right term) to open Jstar in the right sub-directory. One script (for example) is jsnote. I just type jsnote and it opens a new instance of Jstar in my Notes sub-directory of Documents. Actually, I click F12 to open Guake terminal, type jsnote and I'm ready to type in the time it takes to type the eight keystrokes (including ENTER). And I don't use the mouse at all to move around the document (though I can for cutting and pasting to WYSIWYG applications). Now if I just
do some writing I would be ready to go.
