EditPad Pro supports the classic Wordstar navigation keys for people who are used to them. WordStar is an old word processor that used Ctrl+Letter key combinations to navigate through the document. WordStar was created at a time when most keyboards did not yet have separate arrow key blocks. Note that many of these navigation keys conflict with standard Windows shortcut keys. E.g. Ctrl+S is the standard Windows shortcut for File|Save. In WordStar, Ctrl+S moves the text cursor one position to the left, just like the left arrow key.
You can enable the WordStar navigation keys in the Keyboard Preferences. When enabled, they are recognized by every full text editor control in EditPad, such as the main editor, the search box, the replace box, the clip editor, etc.
The shortcuts with Ctrl+Q are two-key combinations. First, press Ctrl+Q. Then release the Q key and press the second letter in the key combination. Whether you press Ctrl along with the second key or not makes no difference.
