^QJ Thesaurus — looks up synonyms for the word at the cursor via macOS's built-in Dictionary/Look Up (GUI) or dict:// (TUI). ^KW Write block to file — saves a marked block to its own file without touching the rest of the document. ^KZ,A / ^KZ,D Sort block — sorts a marked block's paragraphs alphabetically. One known bug: sorting descending can misplace one character if the block sits directly against other text on both sides; ascending, and whole-document blocks either way, are unaffected. Root-caused, a first fix made it worse and was reverted, left open by design rather than shipped half-fixed. ^OG Temporary indent — indents the current paragraph one more tab stop; pressing it again extends the same indent instead of nesting a second one. ^OV Center text vertically — centers the text between the cursor and the next page break vertically on the page.
Due by September 30, 2026•5/10 issues closedFeature-completeness audit with eat your own dogfood while writing a book. Scope decision made: core editor only, audited against the real WS7 manual's Reference — the manual's bundled ProFinder/PC-Outline/MailList/TelMerge are separate programs, not editor gaps and might not be essential to write. If someone request them, I will look into it. SWITCH.COM key remapping stays deferred by design; the fork's whole point is not changing the keys people already know. That said, it's also not on the plan. If features are missing, they will be added to next version. 1.0.0 will be the first release with binary download for MacOS
Due by December 24, 2026•2/3 issues closedReal WordStar has help 0-4, where 4 is the most verbose and detailed. Checked for an easier online source first to implement or import: none found. That means: manual, section-by-section extraction against manual PDFs
Due by October 5, 2026The one native-swap candidate that cleared the bar After a full third-party component review: usage isolated to docxfile.cpp, low blast radius, same shape as the libharu/STB swaps above. Everything else audited (chillout, kuba--/zip, simpleini, cpp-unicodelib) didn't clear the bar for its own reason — crash-handling risk, no clean native equivalent, a product decision rather than a technical win, or too deeply embedded to risk.
Due by November 1, 2026Grep code search confirmed absent of .HY function. Justified text is the default alignment; this is what makes it look right instead of leaving ragged rivers of whitespace. .hy auto-hyphenation dot command dotcommandparser.cpp's "HY" case exists and explicitly returns DOT_NOTIMPLEMENTED. ^OE soft hyphen, ^OH auto-hyphenation toggle Both fall into the same ^O-chord "opens Preferences" catch-all as ^OV/^OG used to. The help bar already advertises "H turn auto-hyphenation off" as if it works — that text is inherited and aspirational, a small honesty gap of its own.
