How to detect file changed by myself in IntelliJ IDEA

Is it possible in Intellij to mark edited file tabs with a star (*) so that I can see which files I have changed.

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.
