In the occasion where you'd want Sublime Text to save the current file after each change, you can use this plugin.

auto-save is available through Sublime Package Control and is the recommended way to install.

Alternatively, you may install via GitHub by cloning this repository into the Packages directory under Sublime Text's data directory:

On Mac:

cd ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages
git clone https://github.com/jamesfzhang/auto-save.git

By default, auto-save is disabled because it is a fairly invasive plugin. To enable it, you must first bind the command to turn the plugin on or off. Open "Preferences / Key Bindings - User" and add:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+s"], "command": "auto_save" }

This key bindings file takes an array of key bindings so please ensure that this key binding, along with any existing ones, are properly wrapped in [].

With this setting, pressing Ctrl + Shift + S will turn the plugin on or off. A status message will be displayed in the Sublime Status Bar each time the plugin is turned on or off.

By default, auto-save debounces "save" events by 1 second. For fast typers, this improves performance dramatically such that "save" events are not called constantly, just when it matters.
