# Closing Files and Exiting jEdit

File>Close Buffer (keyboard equivalent: Control-W) will close the current buffer. If it has unsaved changes, jEdit will ask if they should be saved first. The No option discards the unsaved changes with no further ado. If you decide you didn't want to close the buffer after all, Cancel cancels the close operation and returns to the editor.

File>Close All Buffers (keyboard equivalent: F3) will close all currently open buffers. If any buffers have unsaved changes, they will be listed in a dialog box where you can choose to save or discard them. Multiple buffers to operate on can be selected by clicking on them while holding down Control.

File>Exit (keyboard equivalent: Control-Q) will completely exit jEdit, asking for confirmation first. If you would prefer not to be asked for confirmation, disable it in the General pane of the Utilities>Global Options dialog box.
