The venerable joe editor (https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io) is apparently very comfortable for Wordstar users. I used it for a few years in college before I could afford enough RAM to run emacs and although I never actually used Wordstar myself and cant compare it that way, I really liked using joe and can still remember a lot of the keybindings 20+ years later.
- tangus 5y agoIt lacks word wrapping tho.
- bellyfullofbac 5y ago^TW .. By default it word wraps files, so editing source files with long lines gets a bit annoying, I know one can save the default options, but I've used this shortcut a lot of times that I know it by heart.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoTrue but as far as I remember it inserts a 'hard' line ending every time it wraps. Meaning you have to go back in and clean up all those line endings if you want to go back and edit a paragraph, otherwise everything ends up out of whack. What I'd prefer is an editor that wraps visually but only inserts line endings at the end of a paragraph (when enter is actually pressed).
- bombcar 5y agoNano does this if it’s turned on. I can’t believe other editors don’t have a soft wrap option. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/122795/long-line-wrapping-in-nano https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/122795/long-line-wr...
