I wrote my middle-school papers in WordStar...

This was my first exposure to 2-step command combos (some call "chords") starting with Ctrl+K and then a second key.

I'm unsure if WordStar created this feature.

However, by way of Turbo Pascal, Delphi, Visual Studio and even VS Code, somehow this feature followed me into the present day for ~40 years!
