@haixuanTao the extension you linked to uses a webview for its preview feature, losing some features in the process.

I explicitly made this extension to use VSCode's built-in editors instead of webviews. This means that, for example, any extension that inspects an editor's text will continue to work with this preview - like a spell checker, for example. Especially since, when I began development, even basic things, like Ctrl+F used to only work in built-in editors.

Unfortunately, this prevents me from easily implementing the preview-by-default feature. Don't want to go deep into technical details here, but I've tried to come up with a solution, and found none.

Leaving this issue open until I either find a way to do it, or document this limitation in the README.
