[texworks] feature request: timed autosave

[Henrik Skov Midtiby]

As I understand it, scripts must be invoked by either a shortcut or a
hook which is activated during certain events (post compilation, ...).

If there is a hook which is activated by the clock (eg once each
minute), a script can solve the problem.
Unfortunately I don't think that such a hook exist.
