BBEmacs Watch Part 1000
Daring Fireball Linked List: BBEdit 9.2:
My favorite new feature is the Sleep command, which lets you quit the app while saving state. When next you launch BBEdit after sleeping, all open windows and documents are restored, including untitled documents.
I wish every app had this feature.
You’ll never guess which prominent multiplatform editor has had this feature for some time, and didn’t even need to give it the throughly stupid (as well as completely inaccurate) name “sleep.” Which editor is left as an exercise for the reader. Is BareBones just working their way through the *info* screens?
Update: desktop-mode can also be set to auto-save the desktop while you’re working. What happens if God forbid BBEmacs crashes?
I actually don’t know how to make emacs do that… not sure I’d want to though. I enjoy the clean-slate feeling of starting up with nothing.
It’s a feature called Desktop: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DeskTop
Danke. I’ll check it out, just cause. 🙂
