TODO

Here are some planned features and improvements for nvim-template:

• Substitution of values: Support for %$1 type placeholders, when inserting them, the cursor moves to the placeholder position, allowing you to enter custom values (e.g. function names).
• Template preview: Add a feature to preview templates before inserting them.
• Dynamic template variables: Allow predefined variables like %date%, %author%, or custom ones to be replaced automatically when the template is inserted.
