I don't think so. These are the old commands for wordstar: 
https://sfwriter.com/wordstar-command-summary.pdf
In my memory the first Ctrl-X/Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V shortcuts I saw with the
first full-screen commands in ms-dos 3.1: explorer.exe and qbasic.exe.
Explorer was very similar to the Windows version but in semi-graphics
(video in text mode and windows drawn with ascii-extended fonts). These
programs finally allowed to use the mouse making the old shortcuts
difficult to use (Shift-Del/Ctrl-Ins/Shift-Ins) with the left hand
(to keep the right hand on the mouse), however the old shortcuts also
work today and often even with programs that suppress the new shortcuts.

cheers
