I can maybe see myself using this to tweak the last stages of a paper with a coauthor, but otherwise I can't imagine writing LaTeX without emacs keybindings (auctex, reftex, cdlatex, I'm leaving them all lowercase because I can't remember their idiosyncratic capitalization patterns). Case in point: in trying out your editor, I opened several new browser windows accidentally.

So, is there a way to upload latex and bibtex files?

My documents are full of :w, ct. and kkkjjkk --- we are working on adding keybindings. :)

Yes, you can upload .tex and .bib files using the file menu.

Thanks for the feedback!

Another thought (as I edit a document that a co-author wrote): if you could mimic tcilatex.tex (which Scientific Workplace throws into any document it touches) in a minimal, nonintrusive way, that would be fantastic. (tcilatex seems to be changing the 'gather' environment so that individual equations can no longer be numbered, for example.)
OK, we'll have a look. For now, you can upload tcilatex.tex to writeLaTeX and then \input{tcilatex.tex} after your \documentclass line. (Note: it seems to conflict with the amsmath package, however.)

Thanks!
