Default file watchers in Goland

Question

Is there a way to enable certain file watchers by default in all projects? It bugs me that I have to do this manually, but I've not found an option.

For example, I like to enable the goimports file watcher for every project in Goland.

Yes there is now! They allow you to change the level of the file watcher. Simply navigate to Preferences -> Tools -> File Watchers and on "level" select "Global".

This will, by default, add these File Watchers for other projects but it will not be enabled. To enable, simply check the "Enabled" box and you are good to go!
