Disable Preview

Is there a way to disable the mini preview window? Its really annoying on autorefresh, I generally use another window to see my result. But any time I close the preview it stops my replit.

Thanks

Do you mean this preview window? Can't you just drag it down? Or do you mean something else?

Yes, but even if its collapsed, it still refreshes automatically and my editor loses focus.

what do you mean refreshes?

You could use this toggle switch to stop it from refreshing maybe.

Where is this toggle you speak of! This is exactly what I need, but it does not appear for me

ok check in the .md file, right at the top there is a toggle. If you can't find it, go to account, scroll down to roles, and make yourself an explorer, then it should work! :)

Oh yeah this is only for md files. I want to remove the preview for node projects

um well you should be able to do that, but yeah that's only for .md files. But what exactly do you mean by 'remove the preview for node projects'?

When you run a node project, it pops up a preview window. When you close the window it stops the server. I want to run the server, but not have the preview.

okay could you send me screenshots for how it looks like (when you run it/close window)? And you can always drag the preview tho..

I don't have a screenshot, but you can just use this template https://replit.com/@templates/Vanilla-Vite

Hit the run button
Start typing
pause typing
cursor loses focus

There's no way to run the app while having the preview window closed. This behaviour happens even when minimized

Hm maybe you can try feedback:

My workaround is:
Inspect the page
Select the webpreview
Delete it

Seems weird I have to do this, but if I don't my cursor loses focus every couple seconds due to refresh.

Just drag it to the side until it is really small, then you should be able to work with it mostly being out of your way.

This still refreshes, and causes my editor to lose focus.

What lang are you talking about?
