Feature request: New script button #309

Open microbit-mark opened 4 years ago

microbit-mark commented 4 years ago

Feature

Add a 'new' button that create's a new blank script in the editor

Issue

It isn't obvious how to start a new script in the editor. I can select all my code and delete, but that will keep the program name in the window. I can also refresh the page which offers a warning before resetting the editor to it's default status, but this is a less common UX eg forms often maintain data on refresh and the MakeCode editor also does, so we should look to implement a similar feature.

Alternatives

We can refresh the editor to create a new script or delete code, so we have options, maybe we call this out more in help.html?
