Description Nicolas Bros

I have activated save actions because it is a great way to avoid doing a lot of redundant operations.

But sometimes, I am modifying code that I don't want to impact too much. For example when the code is not mine or it's generated. Also, on large generated files, the save actions can take a few seconds, which are unnecessary because I have to undo the save actions immediately (which takes another few seconds).

So, I'd like a way to avoid applying the save actions selectively (for *some* saves) without having to go in the preferences to disable the save actions globally.

For example, it could be:
Ctrl+S : save with save actions
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S : save without save actions

Use Undo (Ctrl+Z) after 'Save' to get into the basic save state. We don't plan to add an additional action.

I agree that this is sometimes cumbersome and the workaround with Undo is not really satisfactory.

I guess we could accept a contribution that just adds a "Save (without Save Actions)" command that users can bind to a keybinding themselves (or use it via Ctrl+3).

yes, that would be perfect
