Adding WordStar keyboard commands

[RJSawyer]

I miss having the WordStar commands available in TextMaker; as you know, there used to be an option in older versions of TextMaker to toggle them on and off (called the "Classic" commands). I am using SoftMaker Office 2024 (the lifetime purchase version, not the by-subscription NX version) on Windows 11 Pro.

Am I correct that the keyboard shortcut assignments are stored in the file:

\Users\<username>\Documents\SoftMaker\Settings\tm24keys.dat

and, if so:

1) If I copy my customized tm24keys.dat to another computer where I have one of my other licenses for TextMaker activated, will my customized keyboard shortcuts will then be active on that computer, too?

2) If i created two new .dat files, one with the default keyboard shortcuts and the other with my customized shortcuts, then, prior to starting TextMaker, can I select which set of shortcuts I want by overwriting tm24keys.dat with the appropriate file?

I've got something like this in mind, to be automated as a pair of command-line batch files:

To switch to the WordStar shortcuts:

copy wordstar.dat tm24keys.dat

To invoke the default keyboard shortcuts:

copy default.dat tm24keys.dat

Will that work?

Thank you!

(And, yes, I still love and use WordStar for DOS; see my WordStar for DOS archive here: https://sfwriter.com/ws7.htm.)
