Description
Describe your feature request
I tend to spend more time, like > 80%, on reading text in preview mode. So, I want to have a mode to preview text and disable editing.
What problem does this feature solve? [optional]
The new Preview Only Mode will avoid unexpected occasional editing on the text.
Additional context [optional]
Currently, there're three modes available under the View tab
- Source Code Mode
- Typewriter Mode
- Focus Mode
