[Feature request] Improved Calendar title formatting

[twilsonco]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the Calendar view, if the sidebar is too narrow, then the Calendar title is cutoff (e.g. "January 2025" becomes "Ja..."). This is a loss of useful information and makes it necessary to widen the sidebar in order to properly navigate back to past months/years.

Describe the solution you'd like

The solution could come in two possible ways. 1) provide an option analogous to "Calendar -> Heading format" that lets the user customize the formatting of the Calendar title, or 2) automatically change the formatting to best accommodate the available width.

I would prefer (2) as the solution, automatic formatting change based on width. In my opinion, the formatting should be, in decreasing order of width:

1. MMMM YYYY (e.g. "January 2025")
2. MMM YYYY (e.g. "Jan 2025")
3. MM/YYYY (e.g. "01/2025")
4. M/YYYY (e.g. "1/2025")
5. M/YY (e.g. "1/25")

The above is the most granular way to go about it. A simplified version might only include 1,2,4 in that list. Of course, I'll gladly defer to your opinion on the matter.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The current workaround is to widen the calendar.

Additional context

Current behavior as sidebar width is decreased.

@twilsonco Sorry for taking so long to get to this. This may actually be a bit harder to implement, since you cannot access the size of the window with css, but I could potentially try to figure out a way to do it in the typescript part of the app. I will keep this in the back of my mind.

Thanks for the explanation. I think my first proposed solution is a decent workaround: "provide an option analogous to "Calendar -> Heading format" that lets the user customize the formatting of the Calendar title"

@twilsonco Oh yes! Sorry I completely overlooked this suggestion! I will look into implementing that!

Thanks!

And I love the plugin BTW, great work! The calendar widget is the best by far of any plugin I've yet seen. It's so helpful that I never want to put notes anywhere but in the folder Diarian uses to populate the calendar. I'm struggling to utilize a project/subject-based note organization scheme because it means that notes won't show in the calendar. In fact, think I'll submit another issue discussing that aspect of the plugin...

@twilsonco Please do! I feel like a solution similar to that implemented for #78 may be able to be implemented for it! But I still need more context to understand exactly what you need :)
