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.
Thanks, Alex
There are also mousepad from the Xfce project and pluma from Mate, a fork of the old Gedit from Gnome 2.
Another option is leafpad.
