Description

I wish there was a way to disable or enable the preview frame. The preview pane sometimes is distracting the writer's focus from the actual document. I wish there was a View menu option to enable or disable the preview pane.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a toggle for the preview pane, likely via a View menu option. Investigate the current menu structure in the main process (likely in electron's main.js or similar) and the preview component in the renderer. Look for an existing menu setup or a toggle flag. Implementing this involves adding a menu item with a click handler that sends an IPC message to toggle a visibility state in the renderer. The preview pane is likely an HTML element that can be shown/hidden via CSS or by conditionally rendering it.
