nnn-newfile

[raffaem]

This is a nnn plugin that allows you to:

1. Call the plugin
2. Choose among a list of templates
3. Type a name
4. A new file is created in the current folder by copying the template you chose into the name you chose

By default the folder $HOME/Templates is used for the templates.

It depends on fzf to select templates from a list.

nnn has a keybind n for the same.

No it hasn't, it's not template-based

@raffaem Can you edit the OP to shorty describe what your plugin does, it's dependencies etc. For example, look at the other "show and tell" threads: https://github.com/jarun/nnn/discussions/categories/show-and-tell

I can reopen the discussion so that it gets more visibility.

The only thing I'd suggest is that you use xdg-user-dir to find the user's Templates folder instead of hard-coding against ~/Templates, just in case it's set to something other than the default location. Otherwise, this is a pretty neat plugin.

done, check it out!

Pretty good. Though, I would say the ~/Templates directory could still be used as a fallback in case, say, xdg-user-dir isn't found as a command.

Done. Check it again!
