org-remember -- use a file
On more than one occasion, I have composed something using
org-remember, and mistakenly hit a key for killing the
buffer. With all buffers except org-remember, this kills a
buffer if it has no unsaved text, and asks what buffer to
kill if it does, at which point I quit.
With org-remember, the buffer has unsaved text, but it is
not associated with a file, so it loses text.
Text is probably lost upon a crash also.
My suggestion is this. Perhaps org-remember can have a file
(this fixes the killing problem), and that file can be
autosaved (this fixes the crash problem).[fn:4]
There is one more case in which text is lost. You might run
org-remember from org-remember and not undo. My existing
proposal is to allow calling o-r from o-r. I think that
solves it. In such a case, however, it will be necessary
to allow more than one such file.
[fn:4] In principle, if the target location is known, the
file can be an indirect buffer into that buffer. This has
other advantages, including having all in-buffer settings
work, being able to isearch, having a crashed org-remember
stay where it is supposed to be (albeit unfinished) and so
on. But it wouldn't be necessary to get that fancy. Just
any file would work.
