RFE: Set up settings for Monaco Editor

[belonesox]

Thank you for the extension!

Request to set up settings, by showing "Preferences", and somehow remember settings changes maded interactively.

For example, usecase — Someone use CodeEditor to editing some Wikipedia page.

Monaco by default "uglyfied" unambigious characters, and impossible to disable it — no «Preferences» and interactive menu «Adjust settings» not worked (looks like it did not remember changes in settings).

Also, impossible…

• to disable cursed minimap.
• to add syntax coloring for markups, that will be very possible in Firefox Textareas — MediaWiki wikitext, etc.

For me «WikiMarkup» + «disable minimap» + «disable unambigious characters highliting» already OK for most cases, but access for all settings will be more agile.

I am not sure if the Monaco Editor has exposed any interfaces related to interactive adjustment of settings. I will look into it when I have time.

Monaco by default "uglyfied" unambigious characters, and impossible to disable it — no «Preferences» and interactive menu «Adjust settings» not worked (looks like it did not remember changes in settings).

See: https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/issues/2940

«disable minimap» + «disable unambigious characters highliting»

These can be resolved by editing the "Default Context" in the options page.

     options: {
+        minimap: {
+            enabled: false,
+        },
+        unicodeHighlight: {
+            ambiguousCharacters: false,
+        },
         theme: "vs",

• to add syntax coloring for markups, that will be very possible in Firefox Textareas — MediaWiki wikitext, etc.

Adding custom syntax is possible, but it may be quite complex, as Monaco Editor lacks some features of VS Code.

     init: [
+        {
+            func() {
+                monaco.languages.register({ id: 'wikitext' });
+                ...
+            },
+            injectImmediately: true,
+        },
         {

Thank you! Successfully patch simple options, I now hardly working on MediaWiki support

But how to select language by default (without need to call big dropdown listbox), hardcoding in

    options: {
…
        language: "wikitext",
…

do not work for me. Or, even better, how select default language using URL of default textarea tab?

But how to select language by default

The subsequent versions may improve. Temporary solution:

Options Page > Standalone Editor > JavaScript

    init: [
        {
            func() {
                (async () => {
                    languages = await this.proxy('monaco.languages.getLanguages', { args: [] });
                    $language.innerHTML = "";
                    for (let l of languages) {
                        let $option = document.createElement("option");
                        $option.value = l.id;
                        $option.textContent = l.aliases && l.aliases[0] || l.id;
                        $language.appendChild($option);
                    }
+                   $language.value = context.options.language || 'html';
+                   $language.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
                })();
