Description

The current state of the editor is very effective in onboarding students into programming.
As students get used to coding and complete the [Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation](https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/programming) course, the more code they are writing as they try to create more complex programs and experiments.

It may be helpful to provide the option to these students to opt into a more featured text editor. Supporting multiple files, smaller text, and intelligence.

An editor like Monaco would suit the purpose: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/

I'm willing to work on this idea myself if this gets the go signal.

Cheers.
