It may be a good idea to add in the manual a description about how to use templates for new files and folders:
Creating a new file, folder, or manual link in SpaceFM now uses a modified version of the rename dialog, providing more space for entering filenames. This also adds the ability to create in other paths, create as root, create relative links, and create new files and folders using templates. SpaceFM now looks in $XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR/, ~/Templates/, or ~/.templates/ to find template files. Templates are simply empty or partially filled files used to create new files (of any type), so instead of an empty file you get a copy of the template file. Any files or links to files may be placed in your Templates folder. Subdirectories in the templates folder can also be used to create new folders pre-filled with a set of files, or to organize templates.
