Templates do not exist in 2.0.

I suggest converting your templates to snippets. The most likely re-implementation of templates will likely be something that allows you to specify file name(s) with associated snippets, as the main advantage templates had (in 1.x) over snippets were the ability to create multiple files.

For the records, in 2.0 one can use brace expansion when saving a file, for example saving a file as “main.{c,h}” will save the current file as “main.c” and create a new tab representing “main.h”.
