Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
First, thanks so much for your work, this app is very useful to me.
The 3 dots menu in the upper right corner contains only 3 items (Details, Preview and Fullscreen).
I know the app is meant to be distraction-free but having a menu there feels rather unnecessary given what's inside. I personally often use the Preview feature and would like to switch back and forth quickly between edit and preview mode.

Describe the solution you'd like
Exploding (for lack of a better term) this 3 dots menu and putting the 3 buttons horizontally arranged in that same area without the text (a tooltip could give the info on mouse hover)

Research direction

Start by locating the upper-right three-dots menu and its Details, Preview, and Fullscreen controls in the notes frontend. Check how those actions are rendered and how tooltips are provided. Done means the three controls are horizontally visible in that area without text, while retaining their existing actions and hover information.
