Research direction
The issue requests hiding the placeholder when editor.js is in readonly mode. Look into how the placeholder is currently implemented, likely in the core module (e.g., src/components/BlockManager.ts or src/core.ts) where readOnly property is checked. Search for an existing condition that shows/hides the placeholder. Additionally, review the 5 comments for any maintainer feedback or suggested approach. The fix would involve adding a conditional statement to display the placeholder only when `readOnly` is false.
