In vim I can type :e and reload a file's contents from disk overwriting any changes I've made. It's a nice way to reset in case I've gotten lost or just want to undo all my changes. This obviously doesn't take into account any kind of refactoring, I just want to nuke all changes to buffer. Not even closing and reopening a tab will work.
How do I do this with Intellij IDEA? I'm using Intellij IDEA Ultimate 13 and I've disabled any kind of auto save.

File>Reload can be used to reload the current buffer from disk at any other time; a confirmation dialog box will be displayed first if the buffer has unsaved changes. File>Reload All discards unsaved changes in all open buffers and reload them from disk, asking for confirmation first.
Restore changes in a file With IntelliJ IDEA you can restore that change in a couple of clicks. Right-click anywhere in the editor and choose Local History | Show History from the context menu. In the dialog that opens, the left-hand pane shows a list of all saved revisions of the current file with timestamps.
File > Synchronize (Ctrl+Alt+Y) It will load the file from the file system. If you have unsaved changes, it will ask if you want to discard them.
