A Visual Studio Code extension that automatically opens the Markdown preview when you open a Markdown file. Optional settings let you lock the right editor group to keep the preview pinned and automate preview open/close behavior.
- Automatically opens the Markdown preview when a Markdown file becomes active.
- Keeps the code editor in the primary group while locking the preview to the side when enabled.
- Closes the preview when a non-Markdown editor becomes active (configurable).
- Workspace-scoped settings so each project can tune the behavior.
