Description
I'd love if you could edit the markdown in the actual preview window. I like reading & writing markdown files, and the simplicity is great, but it'd be faster to just edit directly in the preview window.
I know it may seem that this goes against the 'spirit' of markdown, but for me at least, that'd be useful.

Done requires agreed behavior and acceptance criteria for synchronized WYSIWYG editing.
