    No, please. I NEVER want a computer to take a decision for me (like save or discard changes). I turned off auto saving on Microsoft Office on my work computer after I unknowingly made some changes in a presentation from another team I was just looking at, and it saved those changes without my knowledge nor consent.

    I work with several screens, have several windows of different programs open and, unfortunately, sometimes a keystroke doesn’t go where I thought I was sending it (I’m probably getting old). Also sometimes windows from a different program come to focus unannounced and capture whatever you were typing or clicking.

      re: keystroke focus - you’re not just getting old, programs are getting shittier about pulling focus when they shouldn’t

      I work on several screens on several tasks at once typically as well, and it’s infuriating when one program pulls focus as I’m typing a sentence into something else, and worse when it does so and accepts the input of my rapid keystrokes to do whatever the fuck all those hotkeys are on the thing that pulled focus
