Disable auto-saving when using Quick Replace (Ctrl+H)

Question

In a recent Visual Studio, version 17.7.4, C++ programming, when using Quick Replace (Ctrl+H), the files that get modified are saved immediately after the modification takes place. Is there any option that can disable this behavior? Thanks.

Hello @kwikc ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

If you click "replace all"(instead of clicking "replace next"), then the modified files will be auto saved. Currently, there’s no option to disable this feature. I recommend directly submitting a suggestion ticket on our Developer Community.

Best Regards,

Tianyu
