Templates directory in Ubuntu: can I use this feature with gedit in bash shell?

Question

Saw this question: What is the "Templates" folder in the home directory for? But I wanted to know whether I can use this feature with gedit in bash shell? If yes How? If no is there any other way to create templates for gedit?

Thanks Zaka. I used ur idea to create a bash function to automatically create a file with the template. gtp () { if [ $1==*.py ]; then cat ~/Templates/exn.py > $1; gedit $1; fi } — Shinto C V, Mar 21 '15 at 11:44

No, bacause that behaviour is associated to the desktop.

However you can do this:

cp $HOME/Templates/example\ gedit.txt myNewFile.txt
gedit myNewFile.txt
