Autosave text #46

It would be convenient to autosave text in notepad.

Hi! If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to enter some text in a field, and have it automatically saved. I see a slight problem with this proposal: what if user were to accidentally type the wrong text, or even worse, delete something they didn't mean to? If autosave feature was implemented, there would be no way to restore previous text, since Vault does not support viewing edit history, at least for now. That is why I don't see how this feature could be implemented in the current state of the app without the risk of making user experience less optimal.

I understand that in some cases autosaving is not necessary, but you can offer this option in the application settings. Users who need autosave will enable it in the settings themselves.
