Ok, then I closed the PR and, let's take one step back, let's decide
what do we want!
Let's add a new "Autosave" tab to editor options with the following things.
[x] Autosave when XXXX lose focus
[x] Autosave on every [ 10] minutes
Both would be disabled by default.
I've added the second one as we had several request on that feature and
could be easily achievable using a scheduled task and a RequestProcessor.
Let's check the XXXX part as I got different inputs, so XXXX could be:
- The IDE: Requires to add a focus listener to the main Frame and the
current Terminal listener, major issue is that the IDE can have multiple
Frames/Windows open and attaching listeners to those is not straight
forward for me.
- The EDITOR Area: Probably the easiest place to be implemented,
probably even when multiple editor areas are open.
- The individual editor itself. I have not investigated this one too
much, might not make sense at all.
Feedback on the logic and wording, etc are welcome!

I've been told recently that one very addictive feature of the other Java
IDE is "Save on focus lost". As soon as an editor looses focus, its content
is saved. Felt unnatural on first thought, but at the end it is more
consistent than save on switch to just terminal window and there is a local
history if one really wants to get back in the editing history, right? Of
course, there shall be a switch to turn such behavior off for those who
like the old days...
My 2 UI cents.

Betreff: Save All when switching to Terminal
Dear all,
What about to have an option to invoke save all, whenever switching to
Terminal? If that's welcome, what about to set it enabled by default.
Motivation: As a devops engineer, I often use the IDE as a text editor
with Terminal and Git integration, I do commits as often as not directly
from the Terminal and also applying scripts from there. From
time-to-time I forgot to save my workspace resulting missing stuff.
Opinions?
