The preview pane does update itself, but if the changed area is out of view, 
the user would have to scroll manually, since I don't know how to locate the 
position of changes in the preview pane.  Normally, I would use my touchpad to 
scroll, but I suppose some people might prefer to change focus and use the 
keyboard.

My understanding of the way a toggle like this would function is that it would 
apply to the sidebar as a whole.  So it would be more useful for the Symbols, 
Documents, and Tree Browser tabs than for the Preview pane.  Toggles are also 
nice because they reduce the number of shortcuts I have to remember.

Another way a shortcut could work is to just move in sequence among whichever 
of the editor, sidebar, and message window are visible.

Could that be why a [PR I opened to fix a bug in the Markdown 
plugin](https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1111) has received zero 
responses?  It doesn't change any user-facing strings, but does use strings to 
store some javascript.
