Hi Bruce, Thanks for the suggestion, but what you describe is actually a lot more complicated than what I need. In fact, what I need is ALREADY present on the “Windows” palette on the far right side of my screen. I don’t really need to set up a new system of projects as you describe.
Basically, I use the “Windows” palette as a huge pasteboard to copy and paste snippets of data, or even entire document templates, into new text and HTML documents, into my blog posts, into my social media posts, etc. I use a separate pasteboard app in my menubar for regular copying and pasting of small strings of text. But when it comes to larger things, BBEdit’s “Windows” palette works perfectly fine for me, and I use it many times throughout the day, and everyday. As I have already stated, my singular concern is simply preserving the displayed list of windows in the palette, when they are unexpectedly lost due to one of these unanticipated — and forced — system reboots. There is a lot going on, on my machine on any given day, so I don’t even mess with trying to figure out why these reboots occasionally occur.
