Description

Feature request:
Implement a new command that exits the editor but remembers all the open files, tabs, splitviews, so that the next time the editor is fired up, it will automatically load the last session (discussion is what behavior to adopt for modified but unsaved files).
This could be keymapped to something like Alt + Q or something in that area.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing quit or exit command and the editor startup path, then resolve how modified unsaved files should behave. Done means a new command restores the prior files, tabs, and split views on the next launch.
