The shapes panel (left sidebar) was always open by default when creating a new diagram or refreshing VSCode, which can be distracting and takes up screen space. This change uses Draw.io's native `sidebarWidth` configuration option set to 0 to hide the sidebar by default. Users can still manually open it via View → Shapes when needed. Fixes hediet#484
Add two new settings to control whether grid and page view are enabled by default when creating new diagrams: - `hediet.vscode-drawio.enableGrid` - Enable/disable grid by default - `hediet.vscode-drawio.enablePageView` - Enable/disable page view by default Both settings default to true (current behavior). Users who prefer a cleaner canvas can disable these in their VSCode settings.
