Description

Right now every time when "messenger" Message is appearing, it'll stay forever, while it'll make more sense just to show it for 2-3 sec (to confirm the action) and let it go.

For example:

  • you save the file
  • Micro showing "Saved .." message
  • and this message will stay forever, until any other action with Message will not be involved
  • and again, supposing you saved your file once
  • now, 1min later you want to save it again
  • the same "Saved.." message will remain and not move
  • so, it's even hard to say if the file was really saved the second time, or this message was stack here from the first save..

And so on..

OS: any
Terminal: any

Research direction

Start by locating the messenger Message implementation and tracing how save actions display the “Saved…” text. Confirm the current persistence behavior, then add the requested 2–3 second dismissal and verify that repeated saves show a fresh message rather than reusing stale text.
