Hello  
Monaco, can not input any text

running 2.0.0.beta1  
browser  
Safari  
Chrome Mac  
Chrome Windows

I can open a already written function, cannot write, be it in a function or any other text input.

in the function node, on the upper left corner, a shadow appears but and some "noise".

see my config file

```auto
    // Customising the editor
editorTheme: {
    codeEditor: {
        lib: "monaco"
    }
 },
codeEditor: {

             * Defaults to "ace", but can be set to "ace" or "monaco"

            lib: 'monaco', // 'ace',

Your config doesn't quite look right.  
Compare it with mine...

If you look at the edit history of the post, Steve edited to fix the code formatting. No material changes were made.

Hhmm strange.  
The post has been changed again from when I last saw it at 8.39pm!!  
When I checked it earlier, the post had been edited to show the correct syntax....  
@Steve-Mcl did you make 2 changes to the post within a short timeframe? (discourse does not record every change in the history within a certain time frame).

@JoseGodinho - Apologies, is your problem now resolved?

@Paul-Reed - no hard feelings.

Back to the issue at hand.  
I updated node red as per this thread, but the settings.js file did not appear complete, so I to copy some of the config file from this thread as well.

Now I just copy the settings from github and I am trying to get monaco to work.

Do you mean you cannot type in the editor space?  
Could you look in your browsers console for errors? (see [this how-to](https://balsamiq.com/support/faqs/browserconsole/))

Also, are you using any browser add-ins (like adblock or lastpass or uBlock etc)?

can you provide a screenshot of this?

  

> [@JoseGodinho](#):

Lets start simple

1. change your settings.js config to just the minimum required

```auto
     codeEditor: {
         lib: "monaco",
         options: {
             theme: "vs",
         }
     }

```

2. Save & close settings.js
3. Restart node-red
4. clear browser cache ([safari](https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/clear-safari-cache-3496193/), [chrome](https://clear-my-cache.com/en/windows/google-chrome.html))
5. load node-red editor & check

One other thing to try - an in-private browsing session which will have no cache and no browser extensions loaded.

Also check whether you have the `node-red-contrib-zigbee2mqtt` loaded as this caused me the same problem
