Well, it would seem you're out of luck if this article is still valid....

https://itsfoss.com/how-to-enable-auto-save-feature-in-gedit/

I don't use gnome or gedit but on a test system shows...

[egreshko@f27gq ~]$ gsettings get org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor auto-save
false

So, that would seem to confirm that it isn't enabled by default.  It also makes me
wonder why one has to resort to the command line to enable features on a GUI.  But,
hey, that's just me.  :-) :-)
