Template and/or copy note? (self.notesnook)

Hi to all, I'm one of the increasing number of people giving Notesnook a look as an alternative to Evernote, just started a trial and the ease of getting my stuff across from the elephant is already a big plus.

One thing I haven't found yet is whether it's possible to use a template to create a new note, or failing that, duplicate an existing note to use as a template. I do this a reasonable amount - certain calls I take where I can quickly launch a new note and have it use that format for quick information recording. Evernote made this harder a while ago by adding clicks to reach the custom templates. So far I haven't found where I can do something similar in Notesnook, is it there and I've missed it?

Yes, just right click on any note and click on "Duplicate".

AFAIK there is no template functionality yet. To work around this I have setup a note with all the basic stuff I need and then some sort of marker to delineate variables that need to be changed. Then when right clicking or long pressing a note, duplicate this note and fill in the variables. It's not as ideal as the custom templates in apps like Obsidian, but it works!
