Use thebe without codemirror?

[KimStebel]

How tightly is thebe coupled to codemirror? Would it be an easy change to disable codemirror and use a standard textarea for input instead? (except for the console mode)

I'm asking because codemirror does not seem to be very accessible.

It's pretty tightly coupled into the notebook front end currently, and so ends up being tightly coupled to Thebe. In the future, the notebook front end (and thebe) is going to get more modular, and may support swapping out the editor.

You might checkout something like this, as you should be able to load plugins.

Thanks for the quick reply! So thebe shares this part of its code with the notebook front end?

I've seen https://github.com/bgrins/codemirror-accessible, but there haven't been any commits for 2 years, so the project is pretty much dead.
