I use an editor (Notepad++) that uses control Q to comment out a line. I'm not sure there's all that much control over what Notepad++ will do, but to avoid inadvertent restarts, would it be possible to add an "are you sure" dialog when it's shutting down?  I know there's one for unsaved files.

Are you (and in relation to your other post), using Notepad++ along with OpenSCAD with 'Design/Automatic Reload and Preview'? > -----Original Message----- > From: Harvey white via Discuss [mailto:discuss@lists.openscad.org] > Sent: Monday, February 02, 2026 10:00 AM > To: nop head via Discuss > Cc: Harvey white > Subject: [OpenSCAD] A small feature request about leaving. > > I use an editor (Notepad++) that uses control Q to comment out a line. > > I'm not sure there's all that much control over what Notepad++ will do, > but to avoid inadvertent restarts, would it be possible to add an "are > you sure" dialog when it's shutting down?

Yes, with Notepad++ tweaked for syntax highlighting.
