Start new files from a template
A brand new file already has the boring first lines in it - the doctype for a web page, the main function for a C program.
When you would want it
Nobody remembers the exact opening lines of every language, and looking them up is the least interesting part of starting something.
Where to find it
- All Features → Start new files from a template
- Settings → adcode.editing.fileTemplates
How to use it, step by step
On by default.
- Make a new file with a known extension and the boilerplate is there.
- Press Ctrl+Z once if you would rather start empty.
Why this beats the usual way
Other editors give you this through a stack of extensions that each need installing, updating, and reconciling with each other - and half of them reset when a colleague opens the project. ADCode ships these behaviours in the box, on by default, identical on every machine that opens your folder, and each one is a single switch away if you disagree.
