Description
Increasing Access
Currently, the p5.js web editor does not allow users to view or switch between the code and preview tabs while a project is running. This feature is essential for users to review and modify code while simultaneously observing the output.
While exploring examples on the p5.js website, I observed that on the desktop view, switching between code and preview tabs is possible, allowing for simultaneous code review and output observation. However, this functionality is not available on mobile devices, where switching tabs are disabled while the project is running. This limitation impairs the ability to debug and iterate on code when using mobile devices efficiently.

Feature enhancement details
Add a tab to view code tab when it is running, in mobile view.

Research direction
Reproduce the mobile p5.js web editor behavior while a project is running, then compare it with the desktop code and preview tabs. Trace the mobile tab navigation and determine how the running state disables switching. Done means mobile users can switch to the code tab while the project runs and continue viewing the preview as described in the issue.
