Hi Everyone - Apologies for this question, but I didn't see in docs: How do I force-save? Explicitly save my edits? I am concerned about versioning with Dropbox files, so I don't want to rely on auto-save of any kind. I also like explicit 'Save' command in case I make some edits, then decide to abandon them.

Any info much appreciated. ; )

t=editor._get_editor_tab()
t.saveData()

Generally this is unnecessary, as pythonista is pretty good about saving whenever the tab switches, script is run, etc. You cannot plan on NOT saving, u need to assume that anything you type is saved instantly, other than the limited ability to UNDO/REDO. A lot of people swear by workflow for deliberate version control. I use stash git, though it has a lot of quirks that can lead to loss of work.
