For the short I only found "auto-save-buffers-enhanced.el", which seems
to solve your problem - there is a function
`auto-save-buffers-enhanced-toggle-activity' which seems to do exactly
what you want.
Mmh, wait, the original package also has a toggle function,
`auto-save-buffers-toggle'. Isn't that what you want?
In both cases, you must have started the timer before toggling does
anything.
Regards,
Michael.
