I don't want to look like I'm advertising but my userscript BitcoinTalk++ now saves the content of the textbox and can resurrect the last one

Can this be made into portable JS without any additional JS libraries? I'll add it to bitcointalk.org.

With HTML5 storage I think it's doable rather easily (my script uses greasemonkey's storage functions instead of HTML5)
I can do it if you want me to, it shouldn't take long

:O wow, gratz jackjack, BT++ will now be used by ALL THE MEMBERS WORLDWIDE!

You can use a software like ditto instead. It runs quietly in the background and keeps all your ctrl+v stuff.
If you manage to hit f5 by mistake , you'll close that notepad also.

F5 just refreshes the page. It will not clear anything that you have on notepad, libreoffice or word. It's always good to keep a copy of anything which has taken a long time anyway.

I already said that hitting the f5 by mistake sounds a bit weird. So I can safely assume he might have a problem with clicking the wrong minimize/close button with the mouse too

Some browsers allow you to press the arrow which will take you back and may save the details. However, some don't. If you are really that concerned you can always copy and paste it on a notepad.

Try a browser plug-in. I remember something like Text cache for firefox.
Or Simple Form Recovery for chrome.

Haven't tested them but give them a try.

I'll give them ago. Thanks.

God-dammit I've many lost essay long posts because I hit F5 by mistake.

How do you keep hitting f5 by mistake? It's the time limit that usually shafts me.
