Include theme settings in saveViewState/restoreViewState

monaco-editor version: 0.9.0 Browser: Any OS: Any

There is the command “Toggle High Contrast Theme” which does not appear to be stored/restored by the *ViewState functions. Calls to monaco.editor.setTheme also don’t seem to be preserved, but maybe that’s the same thing.

I guess this might be because the themes are not an editor specific, but rather a global setting?

Ok then, i guess i will have to store the theme info separately. Thank you.

Yes, editor.saveViewState stores:

• cursor position
• scroll location
• folded sections for a certain model when it is connected to an editor instance.

Once the same model is connected to the same or a different editor instance, editor.restoreViewState can be used to restore the above listed state.

There are very many things that influence how rendering occurs:

• the current theme
• the current wrapping settings set on the editor
• the enablement of a minimap, etc.
• the current language configured for a model
• etc.

But these two methods are about reusing the same instance of an editor with multiple intances of a model and being able to serialize that state via JSON.stringify in a persistent location.
