I really love using Discourse. It is really awesome to read a discussion on it. Sadly I have a little problem when joining a discussion. The editor overwrites the default emacs keybindings on my mac with own functionality. For example ^h creates a headline, ^b a bold text. I use the emacs keybindings to enter text because I don’t want to move my hand to the cursor keys.

Is it possible to disable those keybindings?

Ah and another problem with those overwrites: they somehow destroy the undo history. When I press them accidentally, I can’t undo it ☹ .
