You should pick a text editor that doesn’t throw up a dialog when quitting then. I use CotEditor on macOS specifically for random notes, everything’s unsaved and some notes have survived dozens of reboots over a number of years.

At least when I Alt+F4 it. > everything’s unsaved and some notes have survived dozens of reboots Yep, this is exactly how I use it. But somehow that one time (note: it was on the shutdown) something went terribly wrong.
- ASalazarMX 2y agoI wonder if your notes were borked out of session.xml, but the files were still available at AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\backup. I've changed machines where the user profile was in a different location, copied my AppData, and replacing the old location in Notepad++'s session.xml was enough to restore my unsaved notes.
- justsomehnguy 2y agoNah. Of course I tried everything (except looking in the shadow copy? Don't remember), but in the essence the shutdown triggered Save All workflow (somehow) and I responded with 'No'. *weep*
