Templates for `pubs note` if it is the first time to edit

[m15a]

When creating a new note by pubs note, its content is blank. It would be helpful for note taking if some templates are available.

You can emulate this by setting the application that you wish to note take with as a script that emulates this behaviour. Instead of setting the editor to vim, I had a wrapper script that would check to see if the file existed first and if it did, open it in vim. else it would copy a template file to the location, and then open it in vim.

That's a nice trick, thanks! Is it possible to create a plugin that provides this functionality?

Yeah that's possible. I don't know if I have time to work on it at the moment, but I know it shouldn't be too complicated.
