At present we can create a new file, and then as a second step insert a template.

Would you consider a new action: Create new from template?

This would carry out both steps as a single action.

It is 2024 and it still does'nt work.

My settings:

When there is no active note in Obsidian and i will trigger the hotkey im getting this:

And this is the template:

There is no append command in the code!

You can achieve the desired result by using tp.file.create_new in your template to create a new file.

@dxcore35 Are you looking for the "Create new note from template" command? Sounds like that's what you need.

The discussion you linked to is from 2021, and the aforementioned command was implemented shortly thereafter.

I believe what he means is: When there is no active note, it is not possible to create a new file from a template using hotkey, just like in the screenshot that prompts: "No active editor, can't append templates."， which is also the feature I need.
