Some of us have PTSD from losing work back in the day. Now it’s just habit.

It'd be great if there were side kind of feedback, like the cursor quickly flashing a "C" or something... anything to let you know the operation occurred; better yet, was successful.

I actually disagree from a systems engineer perspective: The program doesn’t actually know shit if those bits hit any permanent medium, just that the OS told them “I’ll take care of it” it could be sitting in a write back cache when you save, see the “write complete” and rip the power and that’s all gone now. Basically, I don’t like promising durability when it’s not really there.

Check for an asterisk after the file name (in the tab/title bar), it means "unsaved changes".
