I am looking for some way to take ad hoc notes on linux where I don't need to explicitly save those notes.

On windows, I use Notepad++ that has a feature where new, untitled documents are automatically saved (without prompting the user) and restored when the program is opened again.

On linux, however, I have tried Notepadqq, which has the same feature, but it's too buggy for work use and doesn't have a lot of support.

Try Atom or Sublime.

Both have the feature you requested. They both are very stable and there are many plugins and themes.

  • Though these both have the feature, they are slow to load and definitely NOT aimed at quick notes. Notepadqq (and Notepad++) is much quicker, though I don't think the brief note idea is really part of their intended use, either.

If you like notepad++, just use it !

I have v7.5.4 currently running in Wine on a CentOS7.

Your autosave feature is there and works...

  • Wine is not an option due to limited disk space and an older computer. I do have the option to switch to windows, but obviously that removes all the rest of the benefits of linux.
