FYI, this is a few months old, if you want to read something up to date, check out https://blog.replit.com/codemirror Unfortunately copy and paste doesn't work well on Firefox on Linux in any of these fancy editors because support for the primary selection is broken and Mozilla doesn't seem interested in fixing it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593761 The article calls CodeMirror "lightweight" but the minified JS is still over 1 MB. If you want lightweight then you probably want something like CodeJar (https://github.com/antonmedv/codejar) which clocks in at 2 kB.
