Feature idea for E2, Templates for fresh E2s #3176
Description
I was told to go here for this feature idea after i asked about it on the discord!
Its a simple idea really, its just the ability to have templates open, so you dont always start with the basic "@name @inputs" etc, but instead you can choose freely, so i.e i'd choose to start with "@name @inputs W A S D if(first()|dupefinished()) {} " and what not, it feels like a useful idea, because i rarely dont use the if first statement, so it'd be nice to have it always there :)

Want to do that, so I've asked him to create an issue here, so it doesn't get lost.
Basic implementation idea (once I'm done with popup lib):
New auto-gen file:
_templates/default.txtto where the current default e2 content goes.On new e2 created - if there is more then 1 file in _templates > dialog opens (that can be blocked, and then unblocked from settings) that prompts user to selected template to choose from.
Also examples and tutorials can go there in

Yes, yes, and with templates we can stop people from using
if(first())and enforce@trigger none...Tjackjesus commentedon Nov 12, 2024
I feel targeted by this comment... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I don't know how viable it is with the setup we have, but I feel like ideally templates would be loaded by a hyperlink in the editor.
Maybe instead we could make a landing page? Meh.
Landing page example
Either of these suggestions make me want to try and see how bad an HTML E2 editor could be.

Such page would be nice on just opened editor, but not when you want to create a yet new file, that's for sure.
