Depending on the shell in use C-c (will|won't) write to the redirected output file. C-d remains constant, but it's irritating that there's no way to consistently abort. To deal with this our edit target needs to be a temporary file which we subsequently bless, append to the notes file and then trash. Keeping notes open in an editor buffer that I can jump to easily, and manually: >> notes.md From the command line gains me all the utility I need while using a modern machine and zsh. Of course, if I time travel, the GP trick is useful on old ultrix machines.
