It would be beneficial to have an option that allows users to disable of whole frontmatter when using the extension. This feature conflicts default snippet insertion, such as auto-snippet.

This extension may still not have a features to add uuid, random_hex, that builtin variables generate. I needs these value to auto generate. So I use this extension only for management contents
for now.

thanks for helpful extension.

Thanks, @morisono, for opening this issue. I've got a couple of questions.

If we disable the front matter section creation, the title will also get lost when creating new content. There is also the templating option for your content types (https://frontmatter.codes/docs/content-creation/content-types#using-a-template-with-the-content-type), which allows you to have predefined content in your file.

Where exactly do you want to include UUIDs, HEX, ...? If it would be in the front matter, you could use custom placeholders: https://frontmatter.codes/docs/content-creation/placeholders#custom-placeholders

If you want to have these in the snippets, it would be an enhancement to the snippets feature to include this support.
