Description

I'm surprised that when I have _quarto.yml in focus in VS Code, the quarto preview button goes away. That's where I'd expect to go to preview the whole project.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in VS Code with _quarto.yml focused and observe when the Quarto preview button appears or disappears. Trace the VS Code preview-button entry point and make the project-level preview action remain available for _quarto.yml, then verify that it previews the whole project.
