Visiting inexistent file

[Urban Gabor]

Hi guys,

I have an issue and I would like to have the most elegant solution.

Whenever I visit an inexistent file, I would like to load an empty template file for that type. EG.: for .c and .h files, for .py and so on.

Is there any possibility?

Thanx in advance,

Gabaux

see this documentation page:
(info "(emacs) Autoinserting")

i'm guessing you're running this under MS Windows (have seen a similar
effect on my PC at work)
looks like Autoinserting has been moved into a separate info file under
Windows, which is a bit of shame, it is not found in index under the
main info file

There is also a separate autotype info file under debian.
