Details

As part of fixing bug 1563457 we replaced Ace Editor with <textarea> element in order to support all scripts properly.

While that fixed the bug, it also removed syntax highlighting and error annotations from Fluent source editor.

We should find a solution similar to Ace Editor, that will support:

  1. All scripts.
  2. Fluent syntax highlighting.
  3. Fluent error annotations.
  4. (If possible) browser's spell- and grammar checkers (bug 1556355).

A potential candidate with support for varying character widths is https://codemirror.net/.

Another candidate to consider might be Monaco, which powers VS Code: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/index.html
