Description of the new feature

This is a tiny quality-of-life improvement request:

CTRL + SHIFT + P ----> "Select color scheme..."

We see now see a dropdown of all our color schemes.
The UP and DOWN arrows trigger a preview of the highlighted color-scheme.
But hovering the mouse over a color-scheme ...only results in a 'gentle highlight', no preview.

My request: hovering over a color-scheme should also trigger a preview in the current tab.

This may seem trivial, but it would be much appreciated.

Proposed technical implementation details

You know, in retrospect it's surprising we missed this. Thank you!
