Is it possible to use as simply a markdown editor?

Is it possible to configure / use unotes without the "notes" configuration, but simply as an editor for an existing markdown file? The live wysiwyg editor capabilities of this extension are awesome. I would like to be able to use them on our team for editing on standard markdown files along with our source code. Is this possible without creating and managing "notes"?

You can use unotes to edit any markdown file in your project. The unotes file tree shows the same files as the file explorer, just filtered for .md files (unless configured for different file extension).

Very nice. I will give that a try. I could see this extension being very popular if it could just be used as the "default" .md file editor or easily switched into while you are looking at any .md file in your project.

Thanks.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

@ryanmcalister I just tried it the way you said and it works great. The one suggestion I would make is if there where a command shortcut I could bind or use directly from ctrl+p > to change the view to editing the current active markdown file in unote, that would be great. Something similar to how you can do "Markdown: Open Preview".

It would be also great if we could filter the folders without markdown files, I tend to have dozen of folders in project with only few markdown documents.

bumping this... LOVE the work you've done on this, THANK YOU! would be great if I could configure it so any .md file I open in vscode, uses your editor by default!
