Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
First of all, huge thanks to all the developers for their efforts on this package! I've used it for years and it's head and shoulders above the RStudio experience.
My issue is that the latest update of the plugin (3.0.0) seems to have removed the option to use the built-in graphics device, defaulting to PNG/SVG if httpgd or jgd aren't installed and always creating new plots a pane in VSCode itself unless I explicitly call quartz() in the terminal. I personally really like the separate Quartz plotting backend and appreciate that creating a plot doesn't immediately take up a section of my IDE, but other than explicitly adding quartz() to my R profile I don't see any option to allow for this with the latest version of the plugin. Is there something I'm missing, or does the latest version force use of in-editor plot viewers unless you manually call a different plotting device?
Thanks in advance!
Describe the solution you'd like
An option in the Plot > Backend menu to use a built-in, non-integrated plot device.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating a manual override in my RProfile that explicitly sets the quartz rendering device, although this would cause the Quartz window to be opened immediately on launching R regardless of whether I've plotted anything.
Additional context
N/A
