Description

Would it be possible to disable the styling in the editor pane? I specifically refer to headings, which appear with another font and font size than the rest of the text..

Preferably I would like the editor to work as a code editor like Sublime or VSCode, with syntax highlighting but no other styling. Honestly I find it an odd choice, especially since I can't find an option in the settings.

In any case, thanks for a great project. I use it all of the time :)

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Locate the editor-pane styling implementation and determine how heading fonts and sizes are applied; done means headings retain syntax highlighting but use the same styling as ordinary editor text, ideally with an available setting if the existing design supports one.
