Description
We should have user preferences for, at least as a minimum:
- Whether to trim trailing whitespace on commit
- Whether to automatically format code on commit (via Prettier)
- Configurable keyboard shortcuts?
- Whether to default to JavaScript or Markdown in new cells?

Research direction
Start with the related discussion in #35 and establish which of the four preference areas are in scope. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so locate the existing preference and commit/cell configuration flows before planning the work. Done means the selected preferences are configurable and their behavior is covered for trimming whitespace, formatting, shortcuts, or default cell language.
