I'm excited to announce a major update to the Template Card, bringing enhanced functionality, improved accessibility, and a completely redesigned editor.

Here’s what’s new:
- Accessibility support – The Template Card can now be fully controlled using a keyboard, making it easier to navigate and interact with.
- Full compatibility with card features – The card now works seamlessly with all standard card features used in Tile card.
- Icon Interaction Support – Just like the Tile card, icons now support multiple actions, including tap, hold, and double tap, for a more interactive experience.
- Redesigned editor – The card editor has been completely overhauled for a smoother and more intuitive design experience.
- Badge enhancements – Badges now support text display, allowing more informative and customizable indicators.
- Automatic migration – Existing Template Cards are automatically migrated to the new version, ensuring a seamless update with no extra work.
This update brings more flexibility, accessibility, and interactivity to the Template Card, making it more powerful and user-friendly than ever.
