Description
When dealing with large files (>~1000 lines) typing is very laggy because it is re-linted every keypress. It would be nice to have the option to show a button to lint instead of linting automatically.

Research direction
Start by locating the homepage editor's lint trigger and reproduce the lag with a file larger than about 1,000 lines. Trace when linting runs during key presses, then add the requested option for a manual lint button and verify that typing no longer re-lints automatically when it is enabled.
