Global Auto Save Visited Mode

Question

I can't get auto-save visited mode to work.

All I have in my config is this:

(setq auto-save-visited-mode t)
(setq auto-save-visited-interval 2)

Should I need to enable anything else to get auto save visited mode to work?;)

Answer 1

C-h v auto-save-visited-mode:

Setting this variable directly does not take effect;
either customize it or call the function auto-save-visited-mode.

Use (auto-save-visited-mode) to enable it, (auto-save-visited-mode -1) to disable.

If you want to enable it globally, use:

(custom-set-variables
  '(auto-save-visited-mode t))
