Describe your question, feature request, or bug.

Currently, we can choose whether to auto show preview by the following either way:

• Config Lf_PreviewResult in Neovim/Vim files
• Add --auto-preview or --no-auto-preview for every command

But all these methods required user to decide before the leaderf buffer appears. Though it is possible to preview a single item by press p in the leaderf buffer, It will be very useful to add a feature, such as keybinding to P, to toggle auto-preview.

Let's say, I search some word with Rg, the result may be huge, so I default set to no-auto-preview, but after filtering the result, I indeed want to preview everything!

I hope there will be such feature added in the future implant :)
