My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.
Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.
There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.
So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?
The font-variant-numeric CSS property allows us to control alternate glyphs for things like numbers, fractions, and ordinal markers. I wrote up a post running through some examples of the options and how you can use them

Not sure why they didn’t mention text-wrap: balance, which meant to be used on headlines, and has slightly better browser support
The pretty value is intended for body text, where the last line is expected to be a bit shorter than the average line; the balance value is intended for titles and captions, where equal-length lines of text tend to be preferred

I’ve maintained a branch of the old micro-emacs (not GNU emacs) for decades. And by “maintained” I really mean “mostly kept working”. It’s a scrappy little editor from the eighties(!) and the “s” in scrappy is silent.
The version I have grown accustomed to isn’t even the most recent version of microemacs, it’s a offshoot from uemacs 3.9 that was maintained by Petri Kutvonen at Helsinki University because it was portable and supported DOS, VAX/VMS and Unix.
Over the decades, I’ve “enhached” that thing to actually mostly understand UTF-8, and increased some internal limits, but it’s mostly the same thing that I used in the early nineties.
Anyway.
I don’t love the fact that it’s a very limited text editor. I’d like syntax highlighting etc. But my fingers are absolutely hardcoded to it, and I am not in the least interested in something that makes me switch away from those (much less start using a mouse to move around etc).
Which is just a very long way to say: “Does anybody know of some slightly more modern GUI editor that actually has good support for really changing keybindings”.
And I mean really configurable. As in “I can make ESC-J auto-justify text, and ESC-Z be ‘exit-and-save, and ^X^C will exit without saving”. Not some half-way state where “sure, you can make ^X exit, but no, you can’t make ^X or ESC act as Alt / Meta keys for other keys?
And yes, I know one answer is “teach your fingers new ways”. But my micro-emacs works just fine, and so it really isn’t worth it to me.
And please - don’t even bother replying with “Xyz is a great editor” unless you know and can show exactly how to rebind a key sequence like that ^X^C. I don’t use nearly all the uemacs keybindings, but I use an odd set of them.
I’d rather maintain just a keybinding file than a whole scrappy editor.
Edit: clearly I should have specified that I’m not interested in yet another “runs in a terminal” editor, or some even older editor (ie “real” emacs, or vim) that just has had more lipstick applied over the years.
Bump: Two GUI editors come to mind: Tea and Geany.
I think TEA is about as close to your wish as you are going to get. TEA will likely do 95% of your wishes except exit+save and ESC key in sequences. It is hackable and readable Qt/C++ so you can patch and push with ease.
"TEA is a C++, Qt(4,5,6) text editor with the hundreds of features for Linux, *BSD, Mac, Windows, OS/2 and Haiku."
TEA text editor has endless configuration options including all the key mappings that allows custom setting of everything in the KEYBOARD tab as shown in the screenshot. Please note that the quirky monspace font is not the default TEA setting but from my own custom QT settings. You can apply any font you wish to the interface.
If you want to modify hotkeys via source code you would use Qt::QAction in tea.cpp in the repo. I'm not a Qt/C++ programmer but the source syntax is obvious and I have hacked other Qt interfaces to my liking with no problems.
One rough edge I found is that if the application is already open, passing a file via command line will not open it. I could not find any other UX bugs in it.
