The only connection between this and emacs is that both use a Lisp language (Nyxt is written in Common Lisp)... and that Nyxt is inspired by how emacs works. Anyway, why did you assume it is an emacs plugin? It doesn't say that anywhere.

My first impression was the same. Mostly from the screenshots, each one had multiple places with an "emacs" text element. If this is not bound to emacs, what the hell is the emacs thing doing there?

It's written in common lisp which is universally written in Emacs.

(which can be written in other editors: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... vim, VSCode with LSP support, Jetbrains, Atom/Pulsar, Sublime, Jupyter notebook…) (just saying to not scare people. Emacs is still the best for CL IMO)

Yes, I can also wear underwear as a hat.

Please, netizen, educate yourself. Common Lisp is written in many places outside of Emacs.

If you want to wear your underwear as a hat, that's your own business. Don't blame Common Lisp, or the array of editors which have nice support for it.

i imagine it means emacs keybindings, as opposed to vi keybinds, in which case that indicator would indicate the mode
