At the moment, it's really unclear "Instant Save of what" it is.

Full agree, sounds reasonable. Thanks for the explanation. > > Could we add a little explanation about the feature to the documentation at > > Before spending time on writing the documentation, we should probably first agree on how the configuration should look like and how this feature should be called. My suggestion is "persistent untitled documents" because it's the "untitled" that appears in the tab so it's clearer to users what it's about and I'd avoid the word "file" because it isn't a normal file. :+1: We can also just create a follow-up issue for the documentation to not block this PR and save ourselves from forgetting it. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/3911#issuecomment-2455765764 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
