Snowstorm is a great tool that I use to preview the particles, however I prefer to write them as code. I usually have a spit screen with code on the one side and Snowstorm on the other side. A shortcut that lets hide Snowstorm's sidebar would greatly improve my workflow by making the preview bigger and removing the part of the screen that I don't use anyway.
An additional config option to make the .particle.json files open in code editor by default would also be very helpful for people, whose primary interaction with these files is in the code editor.
EDIT:
I found an option in VS Code that lets you change the default editor.
You can still open Snowstorm editor by using CTRL+P -> >View: Toggle Editor Type option while having *.particle.json file open. So adding this feature to Snowstrom configuration would be redundant.
Addition of these features would enable following workflow:
Open particle file as code to edit something
Press some kind of shortcut to open preview (ideally with the sidebar closed)
Switch to code if you decide to apply some changes based on the results in the preview.
