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
