The About Blank plugin enhances the default empty file view by letting you add customizable actions such as executing commands, opening specific files, or triggering grouped actions. These actions can be configured with icons, confirmation prompts, and even registered as standalone commands. Grouped actions offer a cleaner UI by bundling multiple tasks into a single interactive menu. Even if the empty view isn't used, the plugin remains useful by enabling quick command execution and streamlined workflows through a central 'Quick Actions' command. This tool is helpful for users who frequently work with multiple commands or files and prefer quick access to common actions right from a new tab.
