Managing multiple models

• create a single editor instance via monaco.editor.create({ ... , model: null })
• create N model instances via monaco.editor.createModel(...).
• switch tabs by calling editorInstance.setModel(modelInstance)
• for each model, you can save its view state (cursor, scroll position, etc) via editorInstance.saveViewState() and restore it via editorInstance.restoreViewState().

emmitted events

Events fired from monaco.editor when their corresponding method is called, ex:

example modelCache

modeCache has a lifecycle for a given user session, residing in-memory (for now) and is structured as a flat hashtable, keyed by :gistId/:filename.

Below is an example modelCache for a user session where they opened 4 unique gists, each consisting of varying quantities of files of varied filetype.
