Description
In the Quarto extension for VS Code, is it possible to disable the "🔍 Preview" button which is embedded in the editor view? I looked for such an option, but didn't find anything.
If not, this is a feature request to implement such an option.
Reason: I almost never use the button, and it breaks the flow of the Markdown document. If I do want to see the preview, I can manually open the Quarto "Explorer" panel. Plus, there's the preview on hover over the code.

Research direction
Start in the Quarto extension for VS Code and trace where the embedded "Preview" button is added to the editor view. Identify how extension options are defined and make the button disableable without removing the Explorer panel or preview-on-hover behavior; done when the setting hides the button and the other preview paths still work.
