Autosave for svelte projects

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There's an emotional difference between coding with the REPL and using VSCode - the REPL compile-as-you-type really adds to the "magic" of the coding experience.

With VSCode, that extra CTRL+S definitely makes local dev feel slower.

Describe the solution you'd like
An optional save (& compile) as-you-type.

Describe alternatives you've considered
VSCode has an auto-save feature, but I don't want that for all projects:

I'm not sure if it's worth the additional effort to implement this. There was an issue about this on VS Code's GitHub repo to make this setting configurable per language but it received insufficient votes so it will not be implemented soon. But someone seems to have made an extension (never published) for this, here's the repo.

Closing as I don't think that this is something worth the additional maintenance. This is something that VS Code itself should support.
