I use Exdor as my text editor. This is probably a clipboard question.

When the contents of a text file are accidently deleted, is there any way to
recover the contents?

Clipboard has nothing to do with deleting

Assuming you didn't shift/delete, just retrieve it from the recycle bin. Or
do you mean you had the file open and removed the text? In that case the
file itself hasn't changed, just what you are viewing so close the file
without saving.

The second case, file open and text removed. Normally, the editor is set to save
on exit, but this is a good case for that save confirm message to salvage the
situation.

Or have the program make a backup of the old document before saving the new
one. NoteTab Lite can do this.
