Auto-save in Atom Editor

Guy picture Guy · Apr 27, 2015 · Viewed 44.3k times · Source

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?
