You could give this preference teeth once more, I think, by adjusting
PluggableTextMorphPlus >> #okToStyle:

okToStyle
    styler ifNil:[^false].
    (model respondsTo: #aboutToStyle: ) ifFalse:[^true].
    SHTextStylerST80 syntaxHighlightingAsYouType ifFalse: [^ true].
    ^model aboutToStyle: styler

(You could of course use 'Smalltalk classNamed: #SHTextStylerST80' and
so on, which would prevent a "static" dependency on ShoutCore.)

This would let morphs respond instantly to a preference change. Or you
could change MorphicToolBuilder >> #buildPluggableCodePane: so that it
only sent #useDefaultStyler when the preference was set to true.

If you cared that strongly about NOT styling your code.
