Spam Saving

Spam Saving is a VS Code extension that automatically saves your files after a short period of inactivity while coding. This helps prevent data loss and keeps your files up to date without needing to manually save them.

This extension is created by Turki Alshehri @ferotaiten.

Features

  • Auto-Save on Inactivity: Automatically saves your files after you stop typing for a predefined delay (e.g., 3 seconds).
  • Works Across File Types: Supports saving across different file types supported by VS Code.
  • Non-Interruptive: The auto-save feature works in the background, ensuring you never lose your work.

How It Works

  • Once installed and activated, the extension listens for changes to your text documents.
  • After you stop typing for 3 seconds (default), it triggers an auto-save operation, keeping your files up to date without the need to press Ctrl + S.

Requirements

There are no external dependencies for this extension. It works with the default installation of Visual Studio Code.

Extension Settings

At the moment, the extension does not introduce new configuration settings. However, in future versions, we plan to add customization options such as:

  • Auto-Save Delay: Configure the amount of delay (in seconds) before the file is auto-saved after typing stops.
  • File Types to Exclude: Exclude certain file types from the auto-save feature if needed.

Known Issues

Currently, there are no major known issues. Please report any bugs you encounter on the GitHub Issues page.
