Plain text editor templates [message #1784990]

Is it possible to create templates for the plain text editor. There ware WikiText Templates, but is it possible to create non WikiText templates for standard .txt files?

Say for instance I wanted a README header... if I had a template I could then:

read CTRL+[SPACE]

and instant readme template text

Are you sure you're in the plain Text Editor? Unless I've missed
something the basic Text Editor doesn't even set up Content
Assist.

Window->Preferences
int type filter text [box]
type "template"
General->Editors->Text Editors->WikiText->Templates

What is this?

Presumably the Mylyn WikiText editor. https://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/WikiText

You might be able to use the Snippets View instead.
