Description
Thinking of implementing this and creating a PR but want to check first whether you also think the functionality makes sense. I'd like to implement pane options for the `macdown` shell utility. Flags such as `--hide-editor` etc. Maybe flags for all the pane-related options under the _View_ menu in MacDown:
- Left 1:3 Right
- Left 1:1 Right
- Left 3:1 Right
- Hide Preview Pane
- Show Preview Pane
- Hide Editor Pane
- Show Editor Pane
That would probably cover what's requested in #350. Not sure whether they're asking for a setting in the preferences or options for the `macdown` tool but I think command line options is the way to go.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the macdown shell utility and the pane-related commands in the MacDown View menu, then compare the requested behavior with issue #350. Define the command-line flags for the listed pane layouts and visibility states, and verify that each flag produces the corresponding pane arrangement when macdown launches.
