But Function keys too.
It's 30 years ago I last used it, even though I used it for over 10 years I've forgotten. I never liked the menus.
Many other keys simply because a keyboard might not have Del, page up, page down, home, end, and 4 arrow keys.

Bad lightning storm here. 4th attempt to answer.
Hope everything is okay there. I wish we could get a little rain here in Idaho. We've had a wet spring but a dry summer (so far).

I got used to the WordStar keystrokes a long time ago and I still occasionally mess up in these forums (and elsewhere) when I go to save my message with ^Q S. (I've had to rewrite several posts because of that.)

I never liked WordPerfect (even though it was "slicker" than WordStar) because I didn't like moving off the "home keys" to the Function keys. I mostly use Jstar for writing now, but I do have WordStar (5, 5.5, and VDE in DOSBox-X). At one point I also owned earlier versions of WordStar for CP/M (I owned a couple Kaypros for a while), WordStar 2000 and WordStar 6, (bought cheap off eBay). I don't know why I don't have WordStar 6 in DosBox-X, I guess I should add it. (I actually still like 5 best, because that's the one I started with.)

Sorry for rambling.
