This Github repo, hosts a .qmd file of my dissertation template. In config/preamble.tex I've set \onehalfspacing and \linespread{1.5} which I thought would affect only plain text and not also code blocks.
Is it possible to change monofont spacing individually (or inversely, set space for mainfont only)?
More quarto way to do this actually modifying the knitr chunk hook.

chunk_hook <- knitr::knit_hooks$get("chunk")
knitr::knit_hooks$set(chunk = function(x, options) {
x <- chunk_hook(x, options)
paste0("\\linespread{0.5}\n", x, "\n\n\\linespread{2}")
})
```
## Different linespacing for text and code
When you click the **Render** button a document will be generated that includes both content and the output of embedded code. You can embed code like this:
```{r}
library(dplyr, quietly = TRUE)
mtcars %>%
group_by(am) %>%
summarise(
disp = mean(disp),
mpg = mean(mpg)
)
```
\lipsum[1]
Here I have used linespace 0.5 for code and linespace 2 for text. Change these as you need.
Code blocks are defined in Shaded environment. So, the fix was simply redefining it in preamble.tex using singlespace environment and \linespread{1}:
\renewenvironment{Shaded}
{\begin{snugshade}
\begin{singlespace}
\linespread{1}
}
{\end{singlespace}
\end{snugshade}
}
