How can I get emacs to save the buffer automatically every time I switch to another buffer?
(This is similar to this question, where the buffer is saved automatically when Emacs loses focus.)

Here's what I'm using:
(defun ora-save-and-switch-buffer ()
(interactive)
(when (and (buffer-file-name)
(not (bound-and-true-p archive-subfile-mode)))
(save-buffer))
(ido-switch-buffer))
defadvicelines in accepted answer on the thread to which you linked does what you're asking to do. However, I should point out that it's probably a very dangerous thing to have Emacs save your stuff automatically -- that's whatauto-saveis for, and it doesn't overwrite your files without your explicit permission.
