A more general/global version of [Activate monospace font inside codeblocks in the post editor](https://meta.discourse.org/t/activate-monospace-font-inside-codeblocks-in-the-post-editor/206533). In short, I want to have the same feature as (for example) GitHub has:

> ## Markdown editor font preference
> 
> * * *
> 
> Font preference for plain text editors that support Markdown styling (e.g. pull request and issue descriptions, comments.)
> 
> ✅ **Use a fixed-width (monospace) font when editing Markdown**

Which in practice looks like this:

Having a workaround of having a [third-party browser extension](https://github.com/openstyles/stylus) with a custom CSS per page/website isn’t ideal.

The setting will nicely go into `https://meta.discourse.org/u/<user>/preferences/interface`:
