VSCode has an autosave that's triggered when you change a file.




I would guess that they swiped that idea (among many of the core features of VSCode) from IntelliJ a good 10 years after they implemented it. Too bad they can't steal more sane ideas from JetBrains' IDEs, I might actually consider switching ;)


I doubt IntelliJ invented the "save on change" feature.

Not being an IDE is what I like about it, my experiences with JetBrain's IDEs weren't good.
