super-save

super-save auto-saves your buffers, when certain events happen - e.g. you switch between buffers, an Emacs frame loses focus, etc. You can think of it as both something that augments and replaces the standard auto-save-mode.

Installation

Available on all major package.el community maintained repos - MELPA Stable and MELPA repos.

MELPA Stable is recommended as it has the latest stable version. MELPA has a development snapshot for users who don't mind breakage but don't want to run from a git checkout.

You can install super-save using the following command:

M-x package-install [RET] super-save [RET]

or if you'd rather keep it in your dotfiles:

(unless (package-installed-p 'super-save)
  (package-refresh-contents)
  (package-install 'super-save))

If the installation doesn't work try refreshing the package list:

M-x package-refresh-contents

Add the following to your Emacs config to enable super-save:

(super-save-initialize)
