Deduplicate the "Do you want tot save the changes" prompt

#1

Use case: once in a while I realize I have too many tabs open in my project.
I pick a handful (or none) to keep and then spam the “Close File” action.

If any of the files have unsaved modifications, I get a popup for every time I pressed “Close File”. Ideally if I get the pop-up, I pick 1 time, Sublime remembers that action and then suppresses or dismisses the other popups in the queue.

Repro case on MacOS (build 4126):

  • Create new file
  • Add a letter
  • Spam Command + W
  • See a lot of popups for “Do you want to save the changes you made to New file?”

It would be nice to only get 1.

Yes an “Apply this to all following prompts” checkbox in the dialog could work for this, and would save a lot of time.

Alternatively, many editors have a custom dialog that lists all changed files together, then you could review the unsaved changes, “select all” and then unselect the 1 file you really don’t want to save, which would be very useful in a scenario like this.
