Description
I can never remember the exact set of YAML keys required to enable render-on-save. And I often want to enable it temporarily during a period of editing and then turn it off so it doesn't catch me off guard later.
I'd certainly find it helpful if there were a way to issue a command (perhaps via the Render drop-down menu) to toggle the render-on-save feature for the currently active .qmd.

Research direction
Start with the VSCode extension's Render drop-down command handling and the render-on-save settings described in the linked documentation. Define how the command applies to the active .qmd and how the temporary toggle is represented; done means the command can enable and disable render-on-save for that document without requiring manual YAML edits.
