Having explicitly three different view modes rather than two

[sharif1093]

Current behavior

Currently, there are three different viewing modes in Boostnote:

• Split mode: Edit+Preview
• Single mode (unlocked):
  • Automatic switch to Preview when window looses focus
  • Double click to switch back to Edit
• Single mode (locked): Always remain on Edit if Lock is toggled.

Expected behavior

I wonder if switching between these modes can be done in a more flat/linear way, e.g. by using a three-state button, rather than a two-state button plus a lock button. For instance, assume that only one of the following modes can be toggled in the UI:

==========================
| Edit | Preview | Split |
==========================

Then switching between different modes can be as simple as pressing alt+1, alt+2, and alt+3, or any other intuitive keyboard shortcuts.

With this approach, reaching the third viewing mode ("Single mode (locked)" in the above modes) would be much easier.

Environment

• Version: 0.11.13
• OS Version and name: Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial

I was wondering if it is possible to toggle an split view with the markdown to one side and the parsed note in the other.
