Would do you mean by _editing notebook_?

It would be also a very different approach I think. Only keeping the untitled files without being forced to save them, that is enough.


> To be clear, for contents to be saved between invocations of Geany you are going to have to save them somewhere, and then they will have a unique name, even something useful like scratch-1 scratch-2 etc. so if the plugin does that it should avoid the save query.

I refer to the tab name in Geany. If I open multiple new files, they all will be named `untitled, untitled, ...` without iterator. Independent of keeping their contents after restart, I think it would be a good change if Geany would per default name them `untitled 1, untitled 2, ...` (or capitalized `Untitled 1, Untitled 2, ...`, but I prefer lower case for no reason). We would not need a plugin or setting for that, just a core change. What do you think about that?
