Hi. The W and S keys are close together and I find I often hit Control-W (quit) by accident when I mean to hit Control-S (save), and therefore lose unsaved work.

Could Pico-8 prompt before quitting if there is unsaved work? Similar to how it prompts to overwrite files when you save or export?

oh that’s too bad! I always use the shutdown command (which prompts), never keyboard shortcuts. alt-f4 closes the window from the window manager or operating system, so pico8 doesn’t have a chance to prompt to save, but ctrl-w must be handled by the program so this could be changed.

about lost changes: run the folder backups command to find automatic backups

All operating systems notify the application when they are about to close a window and allow the application to prevent it being closed until work is saved, so this could be done for Alt-F4 (in Windows) and clicking on the window's close button, as well as hitting the Control-W key combo in the app.
