How to add custom template in Geany?

Question

How can I load my custom template in Geany? Or edit the exiting ones?

Is there any wild-card or tag to load dates, names automatically?

Answer 1

Paste your custom template file in ~/.config/geany/templates/files/ directory. Then the template file can be loaded through File -> New (With Template) -> pasted_file_name.ext

See the picture (as picture simple_skeleton.cpp file is pasted to the directory)

Wildcards can be used such as {date}, {developer}. See more: Geany Templates
