    I have been using Emacs for a long time and I can't remember the last time it got the wrong key. If you're using a graphical Emacs (for OSX or X or Windows) I think it hardly ever …

    And again thanks. Fixed. The reason for this breakage is that I had to change the name after it was launched (in a hurry).

    I'm clearly doing a bad UX job with this somehow. There are a collection of little videos wrapped by web pages documenting what is in the video. Eventually they will add up to some…

    Yes. We're veterans of previous video startups. This is video meeting done right. It's not a big part of the product but it is important coz it means you don't need skype or hangou…
