This operation saves the file in memory directly to disk, with the currently assigned name.

To activate this operation first activate the relevant window, then select from the menu the File/Save command (or hotkey Ctrl+S).

NOTE: These are general instructions that apply to most editors. Some, however, may behave differently or have different commands/options, so refer to the relevant documentation for further or exact information.

Annotations

The operation is usually done immediately, without any further confirmation.

For some types of editors, undo/redo operations, if supported, may no longer be available after a successful save: refer to the documentation of the specific tool for more information.

The editor reports messages only in case of problems during the save phase, so it does not report any notification if the operation went smoothly. You can get confirmation that the save was successful when the edit label/icon, if any, on the editor status bar is no longer visible.

Graphical settings of the editor (e.g., current element, position of bookmarks, etc.) are not saved in the file itself, but are normally saved within the workspace that contains them.

The file type is implied by the operation and cannot be changed.
