Hi,

I have a fedora29 workstation and frequently need a lightweight editor
to make notes, act as an interim cut buffer, and just briefly edit
documents before posting them somewhere else.

The problem is that gedit crashes, or my desktop crashes, losing all
the notes. Sometimes I have ten or so documents of differing degrees
going at once, and when it crashes (like it just did again), I lose
everything.

I need something with some kind of temporary autosave capability, like
vim, but graphical.

I'm aware of the dozens of console editors (I use vim virtually
everywhere), but need something small like gedit, without the bulk and
complexity of libreoffice.

I'm intrigued by your problem of gedit crashing. My use of it never does.

My only frustration is that if I shutdown and forget to save something, when i reboot my computer other applications (firefox, libreoffice, etc) are restored to their previous sessions. Gedit is one that doesn't get restored; all I get is a fresh blank pane. I've learned to be careful here.

I use Xfce, and vi/vim. Fedora w XFCE is intalled on a Dell XPS 13 L322 and a Shuttle, both i7s.

fyi,

Max


Thanks,
Alex
