No quick save keystroke (e.g. Alt-F,S or Ctrl+S) #10

Closed JamesNewton closed 7 years ago

Those of us who are in the habit of quickly saving our code as we type by pressing Alt-F and S or Ctrl+S will be shocked to find that neither of those actually save anything.

Suggestion: Adding keyboard accelerators for File / Save would Save programmers a lot of lost time when DDE gets into a mode that prevents us from saving.

Good idea! Cmd-S (for Mac) and Ctrl-S (for windows) now saves files. I recommend checking the "Save on Eval" checkbox in the Output pane header to auto save when you click the Eval button. I rarely choose Save explicitly. Occasionally I lose a line or two but since I Eval at least every minute of coding, rarely is it much.
