disk activity with every key press?

[Ckosmick]

I'm on a machine with a fairly old SSD and I'm kinda concerned that this is going to needlessly waste what remains of its lifespan

That's interesting. How are you determining that? Do you know where it's writing to?

unsure about location, but reproducible by typing into message box. very brief but any key press causes disk LED to flash just barely

i can confirm this, with every key press, the led flashes (ssd)

06daa3e adds a new option that disables input persistence completely, instead saving it to an on-memory map. Does this work?

#190 changes the behavior to only persist on unfocus, but unfortunately, gotkit/app/prefs doesn't have a good way to have localized enum list preferences, so we'll have to use a boolean one.
