We've added a new "Notes" feature in BBEdit 14... Ooh, guilty as charged. I see an "Untitled text 931". It's a list of hostnames. "Untitled text 107" is a Beef & Broccoli recipe.

LSP was such an awesome idea. It's amazing to me that this wasn't a thing before Microsoft introduced it in VS Code. It's incredibly useful for every editor.
> It's amazing to me that this wasn't a thing before Microsoft introduced it in VS Code. For what it's worth, the static analysis infrastructure we built for Dart was designed this way and, I think, existed slightly before LSP. We used it to provide a nice Dart IDE experience in the Dart Editor (a custom build of Eclipse), IntelliJ, Emacs, Vim, etc. without having to reimplement everything multiple times.

This is the main reason BBEdit has been with me for a decade. I have NEVER lost an unsaved document during that whole time. You quit BBEdit or restart or crash macOS but they're always there when you're back in. Insanely robust. Is there anything like it on Linux?
IMO every program must work like this. I hate so much those "do you want to save this file" when I close a program. Don't ask me, just save it somewhere and restore when I open the program next time. It's trivial to implement and much easier to use.
Dave Cutler was right.

VSCode. I use it on Mac and Linux and make heavy use of this feature.
Thanks to using BBEdit for a decade now, I get bitterly disappointed whenever I re-open an application and it doesn't restore the windows and state it had when it closed. I've tried switching to both Emacs and Vim, but no amount of configuration nor third-party plugins could get them to work like this effectively. BBEdit works exactly how I want it to work out of the box, and I commend it for that.
It is an endless source of irritation that the fans of these editors are so relentless in their refusal to shut up and stop denigrating alternatives that people are left feeling that they must use them, regardless of whether they're a good fit or not.

(not sure if I had to change a setting for this)

That's what I've been doing with Notepad++ for years and years. It doesn't even prompt you to save when you exit, it just restores your previous open file panes, including ones you didn't save. (not sure if I had to change a setting for this)

It will not reload your session by default but you can do that if you want.
