All users who have ever tried to accidentally shut down their computer or shut down Notepad over the past 40 years will breathe a sigh of relief, because soon, Notepad will finally be able to save the file without popping up a dialog box for every text file Simply close in case of change. Notepad is getting autosave soon, and with tabs, dark mode, and a little spinning gear icon, these features make Notepad even more modern.
This update will cause Notepad to automatically save your session state, allowing you to close Notepad without interruption, then resume your last work when you come back. Notepad will also automatically restore previously open tabs and unsaved content and edits on those tabs. Saved session state does not affect any files, however it is still up to you to save or discard unsaved changes whenever you close a tab.
And Windows’ Snipping tool is getting a better interface for screen recording. There’s now a new keyboard shortcut to screen record directly without having to click into it from the snipping toolbar, and there’s a new default audio source option so you can include microphone input as well as computer audio. This will be very useful.
These features are currently rolling out in the Canary and Dev channels of the Windows Insider Program, so if you’re interested, you can try them out now. Alternatively, you can wait for other users to find major bugs, and then use these new features as they make their way into the main Windows update channel.
