don't require picking language for every Edit Code block

[rgkirch]

Describe the feature you'd like

When I insert a new code block with Ctrl+E I don't want to have to pick the language every time. Maybe use the language of the above code block. I'm uncomfortable using the mouse and picking it every time is a chore.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Less friction.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

• I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

Not using yet, just scoping

Thanks @rgkirch for the suggestion, that's a neat idea that I think would be relatively simple to add, we can just use local-storage to track and restore the last option. Specifically using the block above would be a bit trickier though. Not impossible, but not sure it'd be worth the extra complexity vs just using the last-selected.

Will need to be sure to only be auto-filling this on new code blocks though, and not on existing code-blocks with empty language state.

Yea, using the last selected would be great, thanks!
