## Closing Files and Exiting jEdit

File>Close (shortcut: `C+w`) closes the current buffer. If it has unsaved changes, jEdit will ask if they should be saved first.

File>Close Others closes all buffers except the current buffer. If any have unsaved changes, jEdit will ask if they should be saved first.

File>Close All closes all buffers in the current View. If any buffers have unsaved changes, they will be listed in a dialog box where they can be saved or discarded. In the dialog box, multiple buffers to operate on at once can be selected by clicking on them in the list while holding down `Control`. After all buffers have been closed, a new untitled buffer is opened.

File>Close (Global) closes the current buffer in all Views. If it has unsaved changes, jEdit will ask if they should be saved first.

File>Close All (Global) (shortcut: `C+e C+w`) closes all buffers in all Views. If any buffers have unsaved changes, they will be listed in a dialog box where they can be saved or discarded. In the dialog box, multiple buffers to operate on at once can be selected by clicking on them in the list while holding down `Control`. After all buffers have been closed, a new untitled buffer is opened.

Close Others, Close All, and Close All (Global) can ask for confirmation before closing. The confirmation dialog can be shown by checking the '"Close All" asks for confirmation' box in Utilities - Global Options - General.

File>Exit (shortcut: `C+q`) will completely exit jEdit, prompting if unsaved buffers should be saved first.
