Every time I select a brush I begin spamming Ctrl+S.

You never know when hammer will crash itself.

This is my standard process:
>Move one brush 1 unit
>Save
>repeat about 500 times with no issue
>Forget to do this for 5 minutes
>Hammer Crashes

Ctrl+S, Rinse, Repeat

Which is quite annoying when your browsing online.

I spam ctrl+s even if im not doing anything, and im just going between hammer and the forums of the internet or a youtube video.
Ctrl+s is our savior.

ctrl-s has long since abandoned me, every time my map gets even a bit complex, and I'm talking mid alpha version, hammer hangs for a few seconds every save, and if I spam it, hammer hangs for 5 seconds for every time I pressed ctrl-s. My system isn't even that bad either.
