Description

I'd love it if it remembered my choice of UI templating language; at the moment, I manually change it to "XML" every time I open a new preview.

Should be quite easy to implement, we do this for Code language, see the setting recent-code-language.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing recent-code-language setting and the code that selects the UI templating language for a new preview. Follow how the code-language choice is persisted and restored. Done means a selected templating language, such as XML, is remembered when opening another preview.
