If you find similar questions/answers that do not answer your question, then perhaps mention those links in your new question and state why those other questions/answers are insufficient for your particular use-case; i.e., distinguish them so that your new question is not erroneously closed as being duplicative. | |

| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:27 | comment | added | PythonNut | Apparently, it will if you enable auto-save-mode in the buffer. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:25 | comment | added | lawlist | Emacs does not, by default, autosave NON-file-visiting buffers. For example, a *Help* buffer does not get autosaved, nor does a *Backtrace* buffer. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:24 | comment | added | PythonNut | It is not a file-visiting buffer (and I would rather it stay that way), which is why I'm confused. | |
| Jan 26, 2015 at 19:21 | comment | added | lawlist | In your setup, is the *scratch* a file-visiting-buffer or a NON-file-visiting buffer? The default is the latter and thus is not subject to autosave. I like to kill the *scratch* when Emacs opens and prevent it from reappearing, and instead I use a custom file-visiting-buffer called .scratch. Whenever *scratch* would normally appear, I preempt it with a custom find-file /path/to/.scratch | |
