According to the documentation for Create New<br />
menu, we could expect empty file to be created.</p>

<p>However, this is not what we get, see<br />

<p>Current template is defined here<br />
<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/source/kio/browse/master/src/new_file_templates/TextFile.txt" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/source/kio/browse/master/src/new_file_templates/TextFile.txt</a><br />
(View as Hexdump) and referenced in desktop file here<br />
<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/source/kio/browse/master/src/new_file_templates/TextFile.desktop" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/source/kio/browse/master/src/new_file_templates/TextFile.desktop</a>.</p>
<p>As far as I understand, on my computer running Debian testing the template is<br />
hard-coded into shared library shipped with libkf5kiofilewidgets5 package,<br />
so a user can't change the template.</p>
<p>Anyway, here I'm not suggesting we change the template, we could discuss that<br />
separately. I'm merely asking to support user-defined templates like the one I<br />
published in a comment above.</p>
<p>As a developer, I often create empty files in the same directory where the<br />
current open file is, so this feature is useful to me.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R40 Kate</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D17764">https://phabricator.kde.org/D17764</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>abogdanenko<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>ngraham, kwrite-devel, hase, michaelh, demsking, cullmann, sars, dhaumann<br /></div>
