Description charles tilbury 2005-05-14 02:00:37 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          3.3 GCC 
OS:                Linux

Editors such as Visual Slick Edit have ability to save open files when they loose focus.  I would like to be able to set that as an option for KDevelop as well.

I think that's actually really unexpected behavior of IDE. Does any current IDE do this?

Marking as WONTFIX.

Oh well, leaving this open then. Patches welcome for making this an optional feature, I'd say.

This feature already exists in KDevelop version 5.12.230802 under "Settings -> Configure KDevelop -> Editor -> Open/Save -> General -> Enable Auto Save (local files only) -> Auto save document when focus leaves the editor".

CLion and other IntelliJ editors most likely behave in the same way by default (although without actually showing unsaved state next to the tab name).
