How to disable automatic .NET Core package restore?

By default, if you edit dependencies in project.json, Visual Studio starts package restore automatically. Is it possible to disable this behavior?

I am playing with dotnet restore arguments, and for testing purposes I'm editing project.json/removing project.lock.json. But VS automatically runs default "dotnet restore" after any changes, which is interrupting my testing.

It's possible to turn off transient package restore in the Package Manager Settings section of the Visual Studio options window:

Uncheck "Allow Nuget to download missing packages"

Unchecking Allow Nuget to download missing packages will stop Visual Studio from restoring packages when you edit project.json.
