I prefer source mode when building Quarto files in RStudio.

Thanks for listing this feature request... It's pretty shocking to me to see that so many people don't use inline plots! I am particularly fond of them for ensuring that plot dimensions are correct so that I don't need to resize everything once I render a report and add it to my Quarto website.

From curiosity on my end - are inline plots a technically challenging problem? I have no idea if VSCode would enable something like this out of the box. :)

An adjacent feature we're considering for that is respecting Quarto's plot dimensions when rendering to our own Plots pane:

Inline plots are pretty challenging, especially in source mode since (so far) Positron mostly lets the Monaco editor surface do its thing. In visual mode, we've already got our own custom webview so there's an easier onramp.
