The “Auto-Save” issue
The new automatic code-auto-save functionality, while ensuring immediate data integrity, can conflict with user preferences regarding explicit save actions or testing code variations.
The request
Make code-auto-save feature optional and fully configurable within the primary Settings menu.
The benefits
This will offer several user benefits:
-
Increased User Control: Users can manage when changes are saved, aligning with individual development preferences.
-
Enhanced Workflow Flexibility: Supports diverse coding workflows, allowing users to review, test, or commit code changes in distinct stages without premature or unintended saves.
-
Mitigation of Unintended Persistency: Provides control for experimental coding and rapid prototyping, differentiating temporary explorations from definitive code alterations.
The implementation
Implementation would involve integrating a clear “Auto-Save” toggle or checkbox into the “Settings” menu, potentially under an “AI Assistant Preferences” or “Editor Behavior” subsection, with a considered default state.
Thanks for considering this.
