UPDATE: Add "Export Area to markdown"

This also removes React from the equation.
So all event handling is done outside of the React loop.
This simplifies some things and helps us in a possible move
away from React.

This is closer to how we deal with the column and row handle resizers.

I think it works quite well and it is more future proof.

But TBH I just want to try it out and see what is the DX after this.

Fixes #359
