![]() I am far from alone in this habit-Josh Centers said that he currently has 27 untitled documents open in BBEdit, and that’s after he went through and closed a bunch that he no longer needed. But it’s so infrequent that I don’t even consider saving such documents because I don’t want the extra cognitive load of figuring out where to store them and then having to delete them later. (Look in BBEdit > Preferences > Application for the relevant settings to make this happen.) Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and I have lost a few untitled documents once or twice over the years in particularly egregious Mac crashes. It automatically saves changes in the background, opens the documents again if you quit and relaunch, and maintains state even if the Mac crashes. The reason I do this is that BBEdit is really good at preserving unsaved work. I often have many more untitled documents-race results I’m reformatting, CSV files I’m working on, and little things I want to remember briefly. I’ll write the article or post the text, after which I’ll close the associated document without saving. I haven’t bothered saving them because I don’t anticipate needing them permanently.
