Looking for a UI text editor (so not vim or nano) that's lightweight like TextEdit, but has auto-saving of untitled text documents & it would be nice if the text editor was optimized for development, but that's not necessarily required.
I've used TextWrangler which is good, but not lightweight. My main use case is to open a small TextEdit window and compose a bash or python in it, which I then copy & paste to the terminal. I like having the small window with no toolbars or anything except a textbox.
Autosaving is also key. I'd rather have 'Untitled (1)' to 'Untitled (50)' because I don't have time to think up a filename for every small thing I do. For commands or scripts I use often, sure, I've named them and saved them. But the little code snippet I used a few times is not worth the effort to save, but I still want to have it there when I inevitably do need it.
