This looks pretty great. I've been frustrated trying to implement ACE in a project for Markdown support; it turned out to not work on iOS and Android at all, and it has a ton of bugs elsewhere, too. I ditched it for CodeMirror, which turned out to be nearly as bad on mobile. A quick test shows that Monaco does work on iOS, although there's apparently no selection support within the editor. Surprisingly, double space produces "." as it should, but it seems iOS autocompletion doesn't work (not sure if it can be enabled).

Implementing touch selection on a widget that is not native is not trivial. In the editor, when you select something, what you see painted is not really the browser (native) selection. It is simply a bunch of divs painted in such a way that they look like a selection. To add touch selection we would pretty much need to implement it from scratch. If you have the chance and the time, I would very much appreciate a PR to fix some of the input handling quirks you're seeing on iOS. We are not experts in everything, and I have come to appreciate the amazing world of OSS :). e.g. Recently, we've gotten an amazing PR [1] that fixes a lot of the input handling for CJK languages, which I would have had no chance to fix by myself.
