(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. They are hastily typed notes from press briefings and bits of text I might post to a Discourse topic. Take a look at my BBEdit 13.5.7 window below, the five “untitled text #” documents in particular. #1644: Explaining Mastodon and the Fediverse, HomePod Software 16.3 and tvOS 16.3, GoTo breach.#1645: AirPlay iPhone to Mac for remote video, Siri learns to restart iPhones, Apple's Q1 2023 financials.1646: Security-focused OS updates, Photos Workbench review, Mastodon client wishlist, Apple-related conferences.1647: Focus-caused notification issues, site-specific browser examples, virtualizing Windows on M-series Macs.#1648: iPhone passcode thefts, Center Cam improves webcam eye contact, APFS Uncertainty Principle.
