Description
At the moment, you have no visible clue if the file you're editing has changed since the last save.
Other Editors show indicators, when the file has changed:
**Sublime Text** (I personally prefer that one)
**Apple's TextEdit**
**iA Writer**
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing how the macOS editor tracks document changes and where the window or document title is updated after saving. Compare the current behavior with the indicator examples in the issue; done means an obvious visible indicator appears while edits are unsaved and disappears after saving.
