Notepad++ Autosave

Notepad++ is one of the most popular Notepad replacements that is constantly developed by its developers. It offers the same performance and comes with a multitude of features that range from syntax highlighting over multi-document support and auto-completion. What makes the text editor stand out a little bit more than comparable Notepad replacements is the plugin engine that makes it possible to load plugins in the text editor that extend the functionality further. We have covered Notepad++ plugins in the past which can be really helpful under certain circumstances. One of the most useful plugins for users who work with Notepad++ regularly is the Autosave plugin. The plugin can be downloaded from the developer’s website. It needs to be extracted into the plugins folder of the Notepad++ installation (the folder might need to be created if this is the first plugin). The new autosave option becomes available after the next program start once the two files have been placed in the plugins folders. Autosave can be configured to automatically save documents if the application loses focus or at time intervals with the default interval set to one minute
