Description

Add a drop down option to the preferences General tab.

Label: After Last Window Closes

Options:
Quite MacDown
Hide MacDown
Keep MacDown Running

This feature is similar to a feature in MacVim. It allows me to not have to remember to quit MacDown when I am not using it any longer.

Research direction

Start in the preferences General tab and trace how MacDown handles the last document window closing. Compare the three requested behaviors—quitting, hiding, or remaining running—and verify each option by closing the last window while the application is open.
