Description

### Description

Similar to other editors, allow the option to specify the line height to control how separated lines look from each other.

### Use case/motivation

Using some modern fonts like [monaspace](https://monaspace.githubnext.com/#learn-more), consecutive lines look two close together, producing a hard to read block of text.
