How to switch off live-edit temporary? Follow
Hello,
sometime I want to debug javascript but don't want to update Chrome the webpage.
So that would be greate, if I easily could switch on/off liveedit.
Is there a way? I don't see for now.

In Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger | Live Edit, clear the Update application in Chrome checkbox. See https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2018.1/live-editing.html, Activating Live Edit
Hello Elena,
thank you for your reply - but but unfortunately this doesn't work.
When remove the checkboxes chrome is still updating the webpage.
For now I disable LiveEdit (that needs a restart from PHPStorm).
This is a bad workaround - because I often use live edit - but then maybe I have to write some code and for a short moment I don't want to update chrome the
webpage. So for me the best solution would be if ther would be a button in the toolbar or something like this.
But if the checkbox "Update application in Chrome" would work - this would be a first step.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
This are my settings (and Chrome is still updating the webpage):
(I have also tried do disable Restart if hotswap fails - same result
You have disabled Live Edit, and disabling _does_ work. it must be smth else that refreshes your browser - your app must be using browsersync, hot reload or similar features.
