## What it is
medium-draft is a Medium-style rich text editor built on top of Facebook's draft-js, emphasizing keyboard shortcuts to minimize mouse usage. It provides customizable toolbars, autolists, image blocks with rich captions, and special character block transformations.

- rich text editor with heavy keyboard shortcut support
- add images with rich text captions to an editor
- customize a draft-js toolbar with block and inline styles
- auto-transform typed characters into lists and blockquotes
- todo list blocks with checkboxes in a text editor

## When to choose
- you are already using draft-js and want a medium-style editing experience
- keyboard-first editing is a priority for your users
- you need a customizable toolbar and custom block types like captions and todos

## When to avoid
- you want a modern actively developed editor with a large community
- your project does not use react or draft-js
