Save when idle not working? #15

Closed dbarros closed 7 years ago

Is the super-save package also intended to work in non-GUI Emacs (terminal) when using the idle option?

I followed the installation instructions, including refreshing the packages.

Added the following to my init.el:

 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/super-save-20160426.729")
 (require 'super-save)
 (super-save-mode +1)
 (setq super-save-auto-save-when-idle t)

When switching buffers it saves, but when the default 5 seconds of idle time passed, it never saves buffers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Diego.

You have to enable super-save-auto-save-when-idle before enabling the mode.
