WebStorm saves files on edit

My JetBrains WebStorm gone crazy and started to save files right after I type the character. Autosave settings are disabled (I like to save files manually). Any ideas why this could happen or how to fix it?

WebStorm doesn't normally auto-save files on each key pressing. If it only happens while debugging your app, check if Live Edit (that is active during debug session) is enabled in Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Debugger | Live Edit - it auto-saves files to provide live reload. Some other plugins can also be responsible for auto-saving - for example, third-party SonarLint and ESLint plugins are known for causing such issues, as they save files to run analysis on the changes, Flow service, when enabled, flashes files to disk to submit up-to-date files to Flow type checker, etc.

I'd also suggest to check if you have any file watchers set up in Preferences | Tools | File Watchers - those watchers that have Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher enabled can cause auto-saving of the files included in watcher scope
