Can autosave be turned off? - HF2021 - 11-09-2021

Hello all, Is there a way to turn off "autosave"?  If after hundreds of lines of coding I select a large part of the code (or the whole program) and accidentally hit any key on the keyboard that deletes the selected code, autosave would instantly and permanently wipe it out without any way to retrieve it.  It would also be great if a version of autosave existed that kept a copy of the program some time into the past (say 10 minutes) so we could always retrieve at least a nearly current copy of lost code.  Finally, is there an "undo" key that would allow stepping back one or more steps during programming. Thank you!!

Hello! Autosave cannot be turned off, but you are able to undo actions using "Ctrl + Z" (for PC) or "Command + Z" (for Mac). Hope this helps!
