How I can make a simple code editor?

If you're open to using libraries (Not attempting to do this from scratch) codemirror is one of the gold standards for this. Many other projects use codemirror. If I remember rightly, the chrome devtools even use codemirror. The API (To customize editors and run actions against the editor via JavaScript) is really good. The creator is an amazing developer, they're the author of the book Eloquent JavaScript which is worth a read if you want to gain a deep understanding of the core parts of JavaScript.
