I wish someone made text editors & word processors that make you name & file the files you edit first, so that they would then be auto-saved without having to think about it.

The only ones that ever did (that I'm aware of) were geoWrite & geoWrite 128, bundled with GEOS versions for the Commodore 64, the Commodore 128, & the Apple II-series.

I forgot that the Apple Lisa Office System did this, too, in a much more flexible way. You have to copy the blank template icon to a new file icon, rename & move the icon to where you want it to live, & *then* you can open it to start editing the document.

@arielmt text editors that you launch from the command line generally make you name the file first, but they don't have Auto saving.

The lack of autosaving in these programs is such a rediculous oversight

@arielmt
Man that would be great. I hate the popup to name the file the first time I hit Ctrl+S

Google Docs will autosave an unnamed file though
