Awesome! In the next release we'll hopefully have the "hot-exit" behavior like Sublime, where you can close the editor without having to save files, and they're back where you left off when re-opening. Apparently, the PR for this got merged only 2 weeks ago [1] [1] https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/101#issuecomment-260210042 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/101#issuecomment-...

Given the recent increase in Windows' no-you-can't-stop-me update restart behavior this seems more important every week, at least on my Windows 10 guinea pig system. Being able to just throw some text into a blank buffer and not lose it in Notepad++ has made that my scratch pad of choice these days.

  How can anyone work on an operating system that behaves that's way? Complain about MacOS we might but at least it doesn't restart without us being able to stop it.

    It actually isn't this way. In the control panel you simply tell the updates to install when you're not using the computer. The only time it forces you to update is when you have ignored or disabled the updates for a period of time.

      Yes and no. It'll wait until you're not using the computer to install overnight, when you've been away for a while, whatever. What it won't do as far as I've seen is allow applications to block the restart if perhaps they contain unsaved data. Your unsaved data is not Windows' problem, and after the restart it won't be yours either - if the app doesn't support hot exit/autosaving of modified buffers/documents then recreating unsaved data will be your problem (but still not Windows' problem).

  That's the one feature that has me open up Sublime instead if VSCode (for now). I need a scratchpad I can get back to after I reboot. Hoping they really have it out in the next release.

I hate this features. Why don't you just save your files?
