Comment:

 Just tested this in 3.5.2 and in trunk. Pressing Command/Control + S in
 Distraction Free Writing does trigger an autosave as @azaozz mentions.
 However, currently it does show an indicator, just a non-ideal one. :)

 In 3.5.2 and trunk you can:
 1. Create a new post at Posts > Add New
 2. Enter Distraction Free Writing mode
 3. Enter a post title and some text

 The toolbar will then disappear as it typically does in DFW. Pressing
 Command/Control + S does create an indicator, though. It flashes the
 toolbar back to visible with no hint that an action was taken behind the
 scenes.

 There are two better solutions that I see:
 1. Make it so that pressing Command/Control + S causes no visual
 indicator, thus preserving the distraction free aspect of DFW.
 2. Keep the current interaction where pressing Command/Control + S flashes
 the toolbar to visible but add a "Saved." label next to the "Save" button.

 The second option would be more fitting with what happens when pressing
 Command/Control + S in the non-DFW post editor. In that case forcing an
 auto save displays "Saving draft..." below the editor content.
