As I was reading this I wondered if the author had ever used emacs. I discovered emacs has WordStar key bindings - https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Em...


WordStar is a lot more than just some keybindings. For a detailed description, read Sawyer's essay "A Writer's Word Processor" (http://sfwriter.com/wordstar.htm). The article even has a link to it...


Yeah, my first thought was, "Surely, someone can make an emacs wordstar-mode for this guy".
