Disable Gutenberg Autosave

Description

By activating this plugin autosave feature in the Gutenberg editor will be disabled. Alternatively it also provides options in the editor to select a different autosave interval time than the default 60 seconds.

The block editor will still use local autosave that saves a copy of the edited post to your local storage and allows you to restore it if you happened to navigate away without saving.

Hace exactamente lo que se le pide, desactivar la función de auto guardado de Gutenberg, que me estaba volviendo absolutamente loco. Gutenberg es un editor fantástico a la que te haces con él, pero esa función de auto guardado es verdaderamente penosa y mal implementada.

Go from annoyance to delight in mere moments. This plug-in fixed Gutenberg in 5.0.3. My editor was autosaving every 9 seconds. I'm sure it's just some plug-in that's triggering the error but now that I'm using Gutenberg, I'm pretty happy with it. And this plug-in makes it all possible. The reviewer claiming it doesn't work forgot to activate it. ----EDIT----- After some experimentation, I discovered the offending plug-in. It was not a WP plugin at all, but rather a Google Chrome plugin called Grammarly. Choosing between Grammarly and Gutenberg is not a fun position to be in. Thank you DGA, I'm not in it.

It's very annoying when cursor jumping or block format become weird after autosave trigger. This plugin will help you control your bad emotions, I'm confirmed!
