The much bigger problem is that browsers out there are crap and won't let you re-map your keys as you want them.

How is it that we're well into the 2010's and I still can't get (my own) emacs keybindings in Firefox/Chrome without some silly extension that doesn't work 100%?

I can download uzbl, dwb or any other browser like it and edit my keys as I see fit, for emacs/vim keybinding behavior, without limits.

I don't know about Medium, but I also find that most websites have these hidden shortcuts and you can't even re-map those. Why is there no choice in all this? Browser developers and websites can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on UX/UI research, but can't figure out that I might want to re-map some keybindings.
