Enhancement: auto switch to editor panel when opening a markdown file

[tlourey]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm slightly frustrated when the Frontmatter editor panel isn't open when I open a markdown file.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the vscode primary side bar to automatically switch to the frontmatter editor panel when I open a markdown file, either from the front matter dashboard or from the vscode file explorer

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
I've considered making a keyboard shortcut and/or macro of some sort to switch to it

Additional context
Working on additional machines, sometimes windows, sometimes mac, sometimes with different keyboards, means a shortcut may not always work and remembering to complete the action is annoying. It would be good to be able to toggle this on and off in the front matter settings

Thanks @tlourey for the suggestion!

@tlourey I have implemented this enhancement.

Set the frontMatter.panel.openOnSupportedFile setting to true in your configuration. Once you open a supported file, by default markdown, but it can be changed with the frontMatter.content.supportedFileTypes setting, it opens the panel.

You can also change this setting via the dashboard settings view.

Try it in the latest beta version, and let me know how it works.

It seems to be working great.
