Some programs will automatically save changes when closing files - Plan is to make a repository with a bunch of defaults which I use. For now it is a GitHub Gist.

Programs which seem to do this are listed below : 
   - Texttastic : https://www.textasticapp.com

More default settings now availble in a repository :
