Feature Summary

Introduce a modular template system that allows users to define reusable contents for creating new files.

Motivation

Manually copying content is error-prone and inefficient. A template system will improve productivity, ensure consistency, and reduce onboarding time for new users.

Proposed Design

• Introduce a user://templates/ directory to store reusable file templates.
• Each template can include placeholders like {{filename}}, {{author}}, {{date}}, {{license}}, etc.
• "New With Template" MultiActionScript (Like Recent Files)
• "Save As Template" ActionScript
• "Template Manager" ActionScript and window
• Provide an interactive popup to fill placeholders. (We need this in Snippets #56 too)
• Support both built-in and user-defined templates.

Acceptance Criteria

• Users can see, edit or remove templates in "Template Manager".
• Users can generate a new file from a selected template.
• Placeholder values are correctly replaced during generation.
• Users can disable placeholder completion to fill them later.
• A "New With Template" submenu in File menu with items loaded from user://templates/ and res://templates/. (submenu item is currently available)
• Users can use "Save As Template" to save new templates and select name for templates.
• Documentation includes usage examples and template creation guidelines.
