You should be able to create and use templates for TextEdit using the Stationery Pad feature which comes built-in to macOS:

Stationery Pads are one of the almost criminally underused and well-hidden features that have been around since the Mac OS (pre-OSX) days.

Another one is Cmd+H for hiding an app. People often minimize the current window to see the next app underneath, while hiding the current app is much more elegant and creates a lot less friction for restoring it later.

Which of these hidden champions did I forget?
