Wold be great to have an auto-save mechanism like in IntelliJ IDEA that save everything you do automatically. And for all the control freaks who really like to torture their fingers several thousands times a day: Try IntelliJ you will see that Cmd+S is completely unnecessary.

Keep in mind that auto save makes better sense when there is "local history" and diff functionality.

The mentioned change was not landed in the code base. Deferring until later when we can get this functionality right.

Indeed it would be nice that an automatic save occurs when the developer wants to run the program (as it is in Visual Studio); if errors are detected in that stage, running the program is stopped and an error list is presented.
