Dear @zyedidia, I鈥檇 like to launch micro to write a few lines and pass them on w/o creating a file.
Not sure if it is currently possible, nevertheless I tried micro - | curl -F "upfile=@-" https://... w/o success, because micro insists on naming a file after Ctrl+Q is pressed.
What do you think about that?

Is this being closed because it is resolved or another reason? I like the fact that you could pipe out but.. most programs will ask for a save name/path before saving. Wouldnt /dev/stdout work as far as saving/piping out?

The issue is closed because it is resolved. Micro will now write to stdout when it closes if stdout is connected to a pipe. If the editor is started with stdout connected to a pipe, the buffer will be unsaveable. See the referenced commit for details.
