Using the periodic macro of QuicKeys + QuickTimer will do autosaves
for you. The tricky part is getting it to punch save only when you are
in applications where you want periodic saves (looking for the save
menu item under Finder every ten minutes would be a nuisance). The
tactic is to define the periodic macro as a null one in the universal
keyset, and the appropriate one in the keysets of applications you
want to do a particular thing periodically.
