Exit without saving

No, there are no such plugins. IDEA pretty much claims the right to store your changes whenever it feels like it, and frees you from having to worry about when changes take effect. This is necessary for various refactorings and automations, which can change multiple files without you having to worry about it. After you've played with IDEA a bit, you'll probably get used to it and prefer working that way, but some people never do.

If you wish to rollback changes you've made, the preferred ways to do it are to use a version control system (like CVS), or IDEA's built in local history tool, which allows you to see all the changes you've made to a file for the last several days, and rollback any or all of them.

Note to those interested: I find Local History so useful that I usually
pump up the Local History to 31 days instead of the default 3, in case I
go on vacation or something. Only on the largest projects has this been
a problem and I have to put it down to say 7 days or something.

Try 120. This helps for the projects I only touch once in a blue moon.
Someone had mentioned modifying it to be days of access instead of
calendar days. This would get me back down to 30.


Nah, drives are cheap. :)

So, it looks like IDEA now only counts working days.
Great. We can safely go on vacation.
