Autosave files before execution

Any way to tell Matlab to autosave files every so often, or to save before execution? Otherwise, since I am used to interfaces that do that, I end up running scripts (or functions) with unsaved changes.

When I do changes in my MATLAB code and e.g. press F5, then it is automatically saved. I can see that because the asterisk * symbol goes away. This means I do not understand you need or it is already implemented.

Suppose you have a function you run from the workspace, or by calling it from a script. Is there an automated way to make sure it is saved before it is executed?
