Support For MD File Templates #397

Description

@BeastOfBodmin

Platform(s) this applies to

  • macOS
  • iOS
  • iPadOS

What would you like?

The possibility to do "New Document From Template" or set the default "New File" to be blank, like now, else a designated template file.

Why?

Every day I receive more e-mail than I can read in one day.

Recently I've started using the macOS builtin AI-driven text management tools. I've found "Summary" and "Key Points" to be the most useful.

My workflow at the moment is:

Open an e-mail
Copy the content
Open Clearly with <command>+N
Paste

To the top of this file I add the following MD

# Summary

# Key Points

# Original

Next I select the original pasted text and run Key Points, then copy/ paste into the Key Points section.

Finally I select the original pasted text and run Summary, then copy/ paste into the Summary section.

Then I save the file based on the mailing list and date.

Then I read the MD and if necessary the original. This is much like going to a university library and reading the abstracts of scholarly journals. If warranted, the abstract tells you to read the whole thing.

I'd like to be able to create & later open a template with <command>+N (or another keystroke) that opened a file containing the above markup. I'd like to be able to choose between default templates.

Screenshots or examples

Hopefully this sequence of screenshots will demonstrate what I am looking for.
