Some code editors, such as WebStorm, have an option to auto-save when the editor loses focus. I've searched for an option like this in the Atom Editor but haven't found anything yet.
Does the Atom Editor have a setting that allows for auto-save of edited files when it loses focus? If so, where can this be set? If not, how would one go about writing a plug-in that does that?
Yes there is auto save package. You can enable autosave in package settings.
autosave-onchange much better alternative!
There's also the save-session plugin which makes Atom behave more like Sublime: the current state of each file is remembered across application instances. This is slightly different than the original request, but also extremely useful.
Just add this to your ~/.atom/config.cson
autosave:
enabled: true
It seems that the auto-save feature is now embedded in 1.8.0.
But doesn't always work. See issue here.
In order to use it, enable "Back Up Before Saving" in settings.
It's late answer, but In case someone needs it.
auto save package save something when a it's lose focus or get close.
If you want auto save right after every type, You can install autosave-on-change by ChexWarrior. Check this link. It will auto save right after every type. You can install it from package installer of atom. Hope it helps.
I had installed the autosave and activated package but it does not work in atom.
I installed the autosave-onchange package, and it works perfect, I recommend it. . . The only difference besides that works well for me, is that you record at all times as soon as you make a change . . .
