Is there an option to use Wordstar keys?

I do a lot of writing, and would like to keep my fingers on the keyboard more and rely on the mouse less. Is there a straightforward way to do this?

The Wordstar shortcut keys were created when the keyboards were just typewriter style - no cursor no mouse …

Many of them are now obsolete. You have a whole bunch of predefined shortcut keys (see Help and/or documentation). You can also redefine them Tools>Customize>Keyboard. But I doubt you can recreate all of them.

E.g. Ctrl-Y deleted one line in Wordstar, now it undos last action. And there is no short function to do this in any new program.

Ctrl+y is now something like ctrl± choose what to delete hit enter

alternative there is “Delete Lines” under Modify, so yes, it can be modified
