Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported minimal plaintext setup in React-CodeMirror and compare it with the non-React CodeMirror behavior described in the issue. Inspect how the default instantiation enables keymaps, line numbers, and code folding; done means a minimal setup can leave those features disabled without switching libraries.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but after spending the day fighting with React-CodeMirror to get a minimal setup (no keymaps, no line number, no codefolding, no nothing, for plaintext), I ended up switching to non-React CodeMirror and it was so much easier to work with even tho I'm using it inside a React project.

As far as I can tell, there's a lot of things enabled that shouldn't be in the defailt instantiation. If you can reproduce my issue, please fix.
