This is needed by screen reader users, as CodeMirror is unfortunately not accessible. Having a separate editor is not ideal, nor is the missing functionality for screen reader users. Nevertheless, this is far better than a completely inaccessible editor. This at least allows screen reader users to read the content and do basic editing.

A more ideal alternative would be switching to Monaco, which is accessible. This would avoid the need for a separate editor and provide advanced functionality for all users. I'm not sure if that is feasible, though.

I discovered that this broke when creating a new script, as the ?simple query string wasn't passed in that case. Fixing that was going to introduce more ugliness, so I refactored so that the options are fetched in edit-user-script. That should also make it easier to add additional editor configurability in future.

Monaco looks interesting and this example makes me think that if we include its files the right way, we can load it from a web extension.

Any way to move this forward? This PR has been sitting here largely uncommented and unreviewed for several months.
