mouser:
I find a clipboard tool (of course I use my own, CHS) an excellent emergency backup for such occasions.  All I have to do is Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C and I've got a copy of the text in its current version saved in case of a crash.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses a clipboard tool for such purposes.

Further to that, if the OP is typing job applications, the odds are that he is typing the same text repeatedly.  Good clipboard managers such as mouser's superb CHS or ArsClip or many others are excellent for  keeping boilerplate text readily available.

@kalos: Did you try Text Editor Anywhere as suggested by @rjbull ?
That seemed like it might offer the most comprehensive recovery options overall.
The in-browser text editing recovery tools (Firefox and Chrome) otherwise all seem to be a bit iffy, in my experience.

I'm going to trial Text Editor Anywhere, anyway. Thanks @rjbull !   :Thmbsup:

from I saw about that program, I don't think it's something suitable
I want a program that will sit in tray and just monitor and save in an dated archive all the text I type

Yes, I'll second that. That's what I do (have done for ages) - use CHS (though any Clipboard Manager would probably do as well).
I did try Text Editor Anywhere, but, though it's quite useful, it's not as easy/simple to use as CHS, and it imposes a complexity and system overhead that I could probably do without.

It does a different job, really.  The advantage over CHS is that you don't need to remember to copy text box contents to the clipboard each time; it saves them automatically.

I'm surprised - you major in complex systems  :)
