Which map

Options > Preferences, Key bindings. The radio applies immediately and drops a half-typed ^K or ^Q prefix.

Windows / Notepad is the default. Joe / WordStar is the full Joe subset below. In Notepad mode, the Notepad chords win. Joe chords that do not use those same keys still work.

Windows / Notepad

Chord | Action
Ctrl-A | Select all
Ctrl-C | Copy
Ctrl-X | Cut
Ctrl-V | Paste (Primary or Clipboard, the Hotkey Paste pref)
Ctrl-Z | Undo
Ctrl-Y | Redo (this is not Joe delete-line)
Ctrl-S | Save
Ctrl-O | Open
Ctrl-N | New tab
Ctrl-F | Find
Ctrl-H | Replace
Ctrl-G | Go to line (not the keys face)
Ctrl-Q | Quit
Ctrl-Up | Spell suggestions (when Check Spelling is on)
Alt-F4 | Quit

Help > Keys & Shortcuts still opens this face. ^G does not, in this map. Right-click a HighlightColor mark for the same suggestion list.

Joe chords that stay in Notepad mode

These do not overlap the Notepad list. Save and quit are in this set on purpose.

Joe / WordStar mode

Everything in the Joe table above, plus the chords Notepad mode takes away:

Chord | Action
^A / ^F | Word left / word right
^C | Cancel block marks
^Y | Delete line to the kill ring
^O | Delete word left (Notepad mode uses Ctrl-O to open)
^Q | Prefix, not quit. ^Q F find, ^Q A replace, ^Q I goto line, ^Q S / ^Q D beginning / end of line
^G | This keys face
Ctrl+Shift+A | Select all (plain Ctrl-A is word left)

Ctrl-Q does not quit in this mode. ^K Q and ^K X do.

Mouse

Left drag selects. Right-click is Cut, Copy, and Paste. Paste on that menu follows Hotkey Paste (Primary or Clipboard). Middle button pastes the primary selection. With rectangular blocks on, a drag is a column.

Menus

File, Edit, Search, Options, View, Window, and Help. Help is right-justified. There is no Block menu. Block work is the ^K chords in both maps.
