What OS?

• Mac

Description

Changes are not saved according to my "files.autoSave": "onFocusChange" settings

Expected behavior

Save to happen

None of the vs code settings affect the extension. This is intentional. Only the extension's own settings are taken into account.

I’m also not sure if this is even possible with an extension.

aha, can it get a similar setting then? I don't understand why people still use the broken microsoft "save" paradigm when we can just undo something. It is sooooo against UX design principles...

Well, I don’t know why having a „save“ button should be considered bad.

Saving a large file, say 100k lines, might take 2-3 seconds, which would mean a bad experience with "onFocusChange". Only after that amount of time would the actual contents of the file suddenly change.

However, I might look at this.

I understand. I am never working with such large files myself, so never ran into such issues.
