Description

We have received feedback that the way Save prompts for a new filename (and enters Untitled) each time is difficult for students to manage. Is there any way once a filename is entered that Save remembers it and saves to that file (like in 2.0)? Or that it types the filename in the dialog?
(Fixed as a side effect of #64)

Also, having Save appear in the interface rather than only on the pull-down menu would be helpful.

Research direction

Start by locating the main interface and the existing Save action currently exposed through the File menu. Add Save to the interface while preserving the existing save behavior, then verify that the button is visible and triggers saving.
