I tend to right-click on the preview, copy the preview content and paste
it above where I am editing.  Cleaning up afterwards is also easy with
the mouse (two right mouse clicks in a row delete the current mouse
selection).

That is not to say that the requested feature wouldn't be useful,
particularly for a keyboard-centric workflow.
