> Wordstar cursor control keys are the answer. They let you move your cursor all around your file using intuitive motion keys that are activated simply by holding down capslock while you press them.
They aren't a good answer, we can do better
Capslock is a bad prefix, it's a lateral pinky key, why not use a thumb key like right alt?
> ^Q acts as a prefix,
That's another pinky bad one
> ^E/^X moves up/down
But JK exist and are on the home row! Or use inverted T, that's still be better as for 3 cursor keys out of 4 you wouldn't need to shift fingers
> ^KY yank (i.e. cut) block
Parenthesesized explanation suggests little benefit from this unclear naming mnemonic, so better to either use the more widespread X to rely on muscle memory or a better located key vs a diagonal one (which X also accidentaly is)
