Description

As someone who lives on the mac, and lives with markdown files all day, it would be very useful if MacDown also added Apple "[Quick Look](https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mh14119/mac)" functionality to allow rapid previewing of md files, so that I could preview MD files from the finder by simply hitting the space bar when an md file is selected.

Research direction

The request concerns MacDown's macOS integration and Apple's Quick Look behavior; start with the linked Apple Quick Look documentation and the repository's existing macOS application structure. Done means an .md file selected in Finder can be previewed by pressing Space.
