[Beta] "Ctrl + S" behaviour

Pretty self explanatory. “Ctrl + S” does not show saving indicator animation, which was very useful in the previous IDE.

I have the feeling that Ctrl+S does nothing.

Changes are immediately saved, whether you press Ctrl+S or not.

If you look at the Version History panel, you see some flickering after you edit your app because it updates the git tree, but you don’t see anything after pressing Ctrl+S.

There is a little spinner at the top of your app which indicates that the app is saving. When that spinner turns into a green check, your app has been saved.

Just to add a clarification here: Ctrl-S does still save your app, but only if there are unsaved changes, which there will basically never be! When you are typing code, there is a short timeout after you stop before the app is saved. Hitting Ctrl-S during this time will shortcut the timeout and save your app immediately, but you will save milliseconds at best!

There is no harm in hitting Ctrl-S out of habit, as I do - and @divyeshlakhotia is right that the green check mark in the header is the place to look for confirmation when you do.
