PDE
Feature description
Whenever we click on "File > New", New sketch appears but it will be empty. We need to start writing setup and draw functions manually. I kindly request you to generate initial code on new sketch creation. (Maybe this feature can switched on/off in preferences)
Benefits
- Developer can easily start writing his logic without writing basic functions every time

Research direction
Start in the PDE editor's File > New flow and review how a new sketch is created. Check the existing preferences handling before deciding whether initial code generation should be configurable. Done means a new sketch opens with the requested setup and draw functions, with the behavior matching the selected preference.
