<blockquote>
<p>The "existing capability" label is the reason for closing</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It's not an existing capability, although "workaround available" would be fitting.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>please don't hijack issues for different purposes (don't ask to close empty files).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I'm not, it's what the OP said above:</p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>if a new file is opened, stuff gets dropped into it and then ctrl-X'd out of it, closing should not prompt for save.</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Anyhow closing and saving empty files is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I'd wager it's far less common than using a temp/untitled file as a scratch buffer (at least for me it's <em>way</em> more common).</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The newly proposed change would remove that possibility.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For the unusual case where someone just wants to create a blank file in a text editor they have no intention of editing, they can just use the Save As button/menu/keybinding, easy peasy.</p>
