Tired of manually opening the Markdown preview with Ctrl+K V or ⌘+K V every time? This extension automatically opens the preview when you open a .md file — no extra steps needed. Ideal for anyone who works with Markdown regularly and wants a smoother editing experience.
What it does
Open a Markdown file
The preview appears on the right. You can keep writing on the left.
Open another Markdown file
The new file stays in the same editor group as the previous one. The preview tab updates to the file you just opened. There is only one preview tab — even if the preview was selected when you opened the next file.
Switch to a non-Markdown file
The preview closes. Switch back to a Markdown file and it opens again.
