Optionally lock-out SaveAll

Many views in Designer will change a file simply by looking at them. Other times I do things like make debug changes in a view that I don't want to actually save.
In either case, if I accidentally hit Ctrl-S or the save icon, they're on the drive. Even with git, this can be annoying to recover from.
I would like if there were a config option to disable SaveAll in the Designer and have it always use the pop-up Save dialog which lets you choose which items to save.
This is nominally related to this feature:

+1 to this!
Personally I dont see how the "well-known-CTRL-S" shortcut should work differently in Ignition than in other well-known softwares?
-Usually CTRL-S save the current resource in focus only. -Not all modifications ever made since last save...
-Current implementation is dangerous in my opinion. Resources not in focus will be saved without the developer getting the chance to verify which resources are to be saved -and not at all -what specifically is modified within the resource.
-If for some reason the developer should choose to do a "save-all", then this should allways bring up a list of changes to be committed
-Save current-resource-in-focus should absolutely be the default action when hittin CTRL+S

Alternatively, just use ctrl+s to save the thing you have open and a separate button to save things that are no longer open but unsaved. I remember this being a super strange concept to me when i first started using Ignition, that save would save all..
