I like keeping my hands on the "home" row when typing. WordPerfect's use of the Function keys frustrated me. Never did warm up to it. But, as Quoth mentions, WordStar's keystrokes predated "standard" IBM PC keyboards. WordStar keystrokes were used in Borland DOS products and several editors at one point.
I vaguely remember QEdit, may have even tried it. Can't remember for sure. I know I used some other editor that also had the WordStar keystrokes option. Maybe that was QEdit?
