Could the close box and the command also default to close the "File",

have it ask me if I want to save half a dozen files that I've long
since forgotten about, whose windows are long gone.  At that point,
there's not even a way to check to see if I want to save the contents
of "Untitled-12" or not.

I too find this annoying, and I can't help but wonder how much memory is being wasted by all those still-opened files in the file history of all the windows (debugger, find, etc).


I realize that there can be several different windows (or "views") open
for a given file, and closing a window isn't always synonymous with
closing a file. However, it should be possible to detect a window that
has no backing store, or has never been saved to disk, or has no other
remaining "views" open.

Does command-shift-w (Close File FileName.h) do what you want? Maybe this is something that one should use more often, then the file will also be closed in other windows (I think).
