- EvanAnderson 5y agoI've been a joe[0] user on Linux for nearly 30 years because it has similar keybindings to EDIT.COM (which they both owe, I believe, to Wordstar). [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe's_Own_Editor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe's_Own_Editor
- badsectoracula 5y agoWordstar has very different keys to EDIT.COM, which was basically a tiny program to launch QBASIC.EXE with the /EDIT (or /EDITOR) parameter that disabled the BASIC bits. QBASIC's keys are the same as those used in Windows.
