How to use predefined live templates in file templates (w/ Enable live templates)
Let's say I want this live template (`rcjc`) to be automatically used when I create a file:
I tried doing this in the file template:

Enable Live Templates option in File Templates is not about including existing live template snippets in file templates, it just allows using templates variables there. Adding a custom variable, like
#[[$Title$]]#, allows creating a placeholder for a value you can enter when file is created; predefined variable#[[$END$]]#allows to specify cursor position in created file.
