That will be interesting. I'd love to see a list of the WordStar keyboard commands.
I remember using WordStar and also their text Editor (TextStar , I think) but it has been a long time -- around 30 years), both on CP/M-80. WordStar 2000 on MS-DOS was not so hot and I turned my back on it. (My next favorite was Borland Sprint, based on a word processor from the UK, I believe.) Now, the way these things works the various control-key combinations that started out in WordStar tended to find their way into later products, even though WordStar itself is long gone. There is an interesting account of this in Wikipedia, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordstar#Interface>. It mentions that the Turbo Pascal IDE (on a text interface) used the WordStar diamond, and I believe the Microsoft Editor, ME, designed for developers (and that I favored for a long time) also supported some of the Word Star keyboard command sequences. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: planas [mailto:jsloz...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2011 21:22 To: users@libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] OTT keyboard customization Alex On Mon, 2011-05-30 at 07:17 +0700, Alex Mavro wrote: > Greetings -- I have a ws.ott template file that allows me to use most > WordStar navigation commands -- the cursor diamond, etc -- in Open Office. > However, the same file does not work in LibreOffice...
