I can also suggest the following: Notepad++ has an AutoSave plugin, a slew of other useful features, and a Scintilla editor. If you use other languages, it is also extensible and has almost no learning curve. NppToR is a background application that allows you to pass lines or files straight from your editor to an R console.
Notepad++: notepad-plus-plus.org NppToR: sourceforge.net/projects/npptor/ I can also suggest Geany, another Scintilla-powered editor. In the plugins list, Save Actions has a autosave feature. While Geany doesn't have a native R interface in Windows (I wrote one for myself in AutoHotKey in about 2 mins), it has a ton of other options and is cross-platform.
