How does autosave work in PHPStorm?

Question

phpstorm

Colleagues, could you share your thoughts or advice?

With PHPStorm, I constantly (and I think like everyone else) have many tabs open. I write code in one, then move on to another, and so on.

I have a question, does PHPStorm autosave the result when I switch from the current tab to another one? That is, does the current code in the current folder persist when I move to another file in another tab?

Usually, if I don’t remember whether I saved the tab or not, then I just run through all the tabs and press CTRL + S, which is not very convenient.

Now, if there was an autosave function when switching to another tab (or does it already exist)?

Answer 1

It's all there in the settings.

The first checkbox is the inactivity interval after which all tabs are saved. If you do nothing during this period, the program will save the data.
The second is an immediate save when focus is lost. If you switch to another program, the storm will save the data.
The third allows you to make a backup before saving.
The fourth synchronizes changes to files made by other programs when switching to a storm, or to a specific tab.
