I am developing with meteor and Webstorm, being that meteor automatically updates the browser and Webstorm saves after you stop typing. It gets annoying. I checked my preferences and I can see that I have 'save automatically' unchecked. How do I completely stop the auto save feature in web storm ?
In the Settings/Preferences dialog ( Ctrl+Alt+S ), select Appearance & Behavior | System Settings. Under Autosave, configure the following options: Save files when switching to a different application or a built-in terminal: Save all modified files when you switch from WebStorm to a different application.

IntelliJ IDEA automatically saves changes that you make in your files. Saving is triggered by various events, such as compiling, running, debugging, performing version control operations, closing a file or a project, or quitting the IDE.
Automatic save can be disabled using the following options:
File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings > Uncheck these boxes below:
- Save files on frame deactivation
- Save files automatically if application is idle for...
Be aware that File Watchers feature may override this behavior for the specific file types (if enabled).
Save will also occur automatically on certain actions (running a configuration, IDE quit, project close, etc).
You may want to enable the option to mark modified files with *

It seems there is no way to make Webstorm 9 behaving like a standard text editor.
The closer you can get is:
The resulting behavior is:
