Outline View when Markdown Preview is full screen or focused

Type: Feature Request

It would help if the outline view was populated when a Markdown Preview is focused/full-screen.

VS Code version: Code 1.119.1 (974500e64f0d1cfdf7c9821a2a51c2cb3bf0e561, 2026-05-12T01:20:22+09:00)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200

In 1.119.1 release notes ... "Swap current editor to Markdown preview
We've made it easier to switch the current editor back and forth to the Markdown preview. VS Code has had this functionality for a while, but it was often overlooked. These new buttons and commands make it much more discoverable.

In a Markdown file, select this button in the toolbar or run the Markdown: Switch to Preview View command."

Now, when I switch to Markdown Preview with outline view open, the outline view shows ... "The active editor cannot provide outline information."

I'm asking for it to show the same/similar outline to what was shown when in "Editor view".
