Auto Save doesn't seem to work

[B4Dmonkey]

Summary

Hey, I'm trying to configure helix for auto save. Going based on this documentation I've updated my config but when I execute :config-reload I get an error. I've read some past threads about this so perhaps my configuration is wrong. I've just started using helix this week.

#3451

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. add the following configuration
   [editor.auto-save] after-delay.enabled=true after-delay.timeout=1000
2. execute :config-reload

I expected this to happen:
Config save successfully and auto saving works

Instead, this happened:

It looks like there's a typo in the screenshot, it should be after-delay.enable rather than auto-delay.enabled
