Hello, I do not know how big is this demand (no idea about the architecture of xed), however, as far as I can tell, no current linux text editor has this feature and it would be a killer one! (ps. TextMate from the MacOS world has it).
This feature opens an entirely new set of use cases for the editor: you can use it to write down quick notes and never worry about saving. And of course it is then very disaster-safe.
My C is very very bad so I can only give a thumbs up to this demand....
Issue
Unsaved documents cannot survive a disaster recovery scenario, such as a simulated one with
#pkill -f -9 xed
or my issue posted earlier this year #591Steps to reproduce
Open a large enough binary/text file or simulate unexpected Xed death with
#pkill -f -9 xed
Desired behaviour
Check a temp or cache dir for a backup copy of older data on next startup.
Perhaps something similar to how Vim handles cache files including for unsaved/unfinished file-editing sessions under
~/.cache/vim/swap/
- able to recover even from a kill -9 thanks to its swp files.Other information
