People who think in Emacs can edit the brief with Emacs keys

Press Release

People who think in Emacs can edit the brief with Emacs keys. On abcdesign.app, anyone in a live brief session can switch the brief editor to Emacs keys in the page's settings; it is off unless they turn it on, and it is remembered for them on that browser. With it on, the editor works the way an Emacs user's hands expect on every computer, Mac, Windows or Linux: Ctrl-Space sets the mark, Ctrl-W and Alt-W cut and copy, Ctrl-Y pastes, Ctrl-S searches, Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E go to the start and end of a line, Ctrl-K cuts to the end of the line. Alice, a solo founder who writes everything in Emacs, turns it on once and edits the press release without reaching for the mouse; Bob, who has never used Emacs, never sees it unless they turn it on.

Why This Matters

Why this matters to the user — replace before planning.

Mechanism

Prompted (the claim-recording gradient): why the authors expect this to work, as a falsifiable "we expect X because Y" — not the outcome restated. Replace this line with the claim, or with the exact token None stated. alone on its line to record the claim as considered and declined.

Scope Conditions

Required (the claim-recording gradient): the population, platform, scale, or assumptions this claim holds under, one per top-level bullet — abcd intent plan stamps each with a persistent identity. Replace this line with those bullets, or with the exact token None stated. alone on its line.

Acceptance Criteria

Required (the itd-1 discipline): add at least one Given-When-Then bullet describing the verifiable bar for "shipped" before this draft can be planned.
