Use Ace editor?

[lmullen]

I've added the Ace editor to my installation of Gitit to use with Vim mode. Would you be interested in a pull request that added Ace? I've implemented it as a hack with my own idiosyncratic preferences, but I can add it with sane defaults if you wanted to ship it with gitit.

I'm not crazy about making it the default, or about distributing
the ace source with gitit (since it's a huge library). But it might
make sense to add a config option to use ace. The default could
simply be to load ace from the jsdelivr CDN,
http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!ace
and then gitit wouldn't need to ship ace sources...

I would love that. Either code mirror or ace are great choices; I write a lot of technical docs in a wiki, so having useful tab support and syntax highlighting are huge wins for me.

I'll implement this as you suggest, making Ace opt-in through the configuration file and using the CDN, and you can take a look to see whether you like it.

@lmullen could you provide your hacked code, if the pull request is not on it's way? i am rather lazy figuring it out myself as how to do it, especially when someone else already managed to get it working himself

Everything you need should be in this gist:
