Description bshirley 2008-11-04 15:50:33 UTC 
If a file doesn't need saving and the user hits command-s (Mac OS X), a system beep should not sound.  It should
silently think to itself "you don't need to save, silly, you haven't changed anything".
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2008-11-07 11:35:17 UTC 
Does it happen just with certain files or all files? Are the files r/o? Does restarting of IDE help?
Comment 2 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-02-16 14:26:25 UTC 
Could you please describe steps how this can be reproduced? And also attach here your <ide-userdir>/var/log/messages.log
file. Thanks

pre-request, the steps are quite simple...

Steps:
 Open a file (for me it's any PHP, JavaScript or text file).
   (menu item File>Save is grayed out, disabled)
 hit command-s (the key equivalent for the disabled
   save menu),

behaviour: 
 you'll get a system beep (which is typical for
   a disabled menu item)

expected:
 standard behavior in Mac apps is to not disable the save menu item when the
 selected file is up-to-date, and perform a no-op if it is selected

comment:
 overzealous command-save is a behavior you should encourage,
 having a system beep on an unnecessary file save is negative re-enforcement

Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".

Comment 6 Shiftas 2011-08-08 17:41:45 UTC 
I think there should be the way to turn off all sounds it makes. Its really annoying
Comment 7 Miloslav Metelka 2011-08-15 09:30:41 UTC 
Reassigning to platform for further evaluation.
Comment 8 Jaroslav Tulach 2011-08-15 19:20:11 UTC 
Consider providing a patch. Otherwise I don't believe there is anybody who'd like to implement this enhancement.
Comment 9 melight 2013-10-09 08:24:37 UTC 
Please make a check box to quiet the IDE completely. IDEs shouldn't make beeps, dings or bangs. I'm looking at it all the time, why would I also need a sound indication? It's not like on the other side of the room.
