`Basecamp Five` Ships With Lexxy Editor and Keyboard-First Navigation

The release focuses on daily workflow friction, not AI-agent hype. Durable SaaS gains from better defaults, faster navigation, and clearer product positioning.

• —Lexxy adds tables, Markdown, code highlighting, and voice notes; it is built on Meta's Lexical and headed for Rails Action Text.
• —Holding SHIFT reveals shortcuts, with SHIFT+S, ESC, and SHIFT+C covering sidebar, focus, and compose flows. Keyboard UX is now a core retention surface.
• —The permanent sidebar removes repeated open-click-close loops for notifications. Small interaction savings matter when usage is daily and high-frequency.
• —Positioning rejects agent mania and leads with human communication. That is a useful SaaS lesson: differentiation can come from restraint, not feature sprawl.
