How to detect file changed by myself in IntelliJ IDEA
android-studio, intellij-idea
Solution
By default, Intellij automatically saves your edits every few seconds, and every time it looses focus. So, most of the time your files are not in a changed state, so no icon is needed. However, under `Settings`, `IDE Settings`, `Editor`, `Editor Tabs`, there is an option to `Mark modified tabs with asterisk`, which will enable the feature you want.
Problem
Is it possible in Intellij to mark edited file tabs with a star (*) so that I can see which files I have changed.
