I'm working on a book project with Quarto using RStudio 2022.02.2+485. Whenever I open a mardown .qmd file, RStudio automatically opens the file using the Visual markdown editor, what takes time to load. Even if I move to the Source pane, RStudio moves back again to Visual editor after and I make an edit to the file or whenever I open a new file.
Is there a way to disable the visual markdown editor on RStudio?

You can configure the RStudio IDE to use or not Visual Editor by default. See Global Options https://quarto.org/docs/visual-editor/options.html#global-options
On a per file basis, you can also set this in YAML
editor:
mode: source
instead of
editor:
mode: visual
So that the file always open in source mode.
