Description

monaco-editor npm version: 0.8.1 Browser: Chrome OS: Windows 10

We use monaco editor has viewer of big files and it works like a charm! I just would like to know if it is possible to disable web worker in that case (readonly = true). I think it is unused when editor is just a text viewer.

So thanks.

Research direction
Investigate how Monaco Editor initializes web workers, likely in the editor's core. Look for a `readonly` property and add a new option like `disableWorker` that prevents worker creation. Consider the impact on features like syntax highlighting and IntelliSense. Review existing configuration options in the `IEditorOptions` interface.
