Long live WordStar and it's many brethren!

I got addicted to it when coding Z80 assembler on CP/M in the late 70's and my life since then has been on a constant lookout for an equally good program in other OS's.

In Linux and MacOS terminals there's Joe, a godsend. But since I use Qt a lot, of course the first thing I wrote was a Wordstar clone plugin for Qt Creator. Not possible to survive otherwise :-)

Where can I get that plugin?
JFTR, few hours ago I googled "Qt+WordStar plugin" and found only two mentions of it (both seems like from you) - its curious that Google not show your GitLab repo is search results.[0,1]

Hmmm one reason for Google stumbling re. GitLab might be: I was on GitHub for over 10 years (and GeezerEdit was there too) but when Microsoft bought it I fled to GitLab.
