Frequently saving text editor

Question

Is there a FREE text editor for WINDOWS that can be set to save the current file after any changes or every second or faster?

Answer 1

You can use Notepad++ with some customized scripts.

For example, this forum post gives a sample script.

Answer 2

you could probably get a script for Vim, Emacs, or another programming editor

Answer 3

I would suggest you try Notepad++. I would imagine a macro-esque or script-based implementation should do the trick.

Answer 4

Ctrl-s to save. That should speed up saving considerably. Saving every second is overkill though, and may slow down your performance.

If you are not working on code, Google Docs has a pretty frequent autosave.
