I truly miss reveal codes. It was an amazing feature.

If I remember correctly, wordperfect was so prevalent that most of the key combos also worked in lotus word pro/ami pro and Microsoft word out of the box.

It would basically let you see all the hidden characters that indicate formatting, which made it possible to see why your text would suddenly display in a weird way.
