Nope, you should post a request to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues
...but it is not going to happen. There are good reasons for splitting Save and Export and the argument was killed off long ago.
2013 post ..and we're thinking about some even better approaches in the future, but we won't revert to the old behaviour. Because this is what we said in the past. Over and over again. - Simon Budig https://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-us...rt-vs-save

There is already one of those, but believe me typing is quicker.
In Gimp 2.8 / 2.10 there are script work-arounds. In particular this one updated for Gimp 3
https://github.com/akkana/gimp-plugins/b...3/saver.py
...but not working maybe ask Akkana Peck for a fix.
Edit: I just changed the shebang to #!/usr/bin/env python3 and that got it working. Very dangerous (as always for the unwary), File -> Saver overwrites the existing file with any edits made, no warnings. File -> Saver-As does have a dialogue maybe a bit safer.
