How to disable automatic rebuild in IntelliJ IDEA? - intellij-idea

When I resized the window of IntelliJ IDEA or switch to another tab, it automatically rebuild the project. I have 2 modules in the same project, and it only auto rebuilds in 1 module :) . I want to know how to disable this. Thank you very much.

Probably rebuild is triggered by save action? Please check settings under "Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings"

Coverage button near the start and debug button is a bit annoying in IntelliJ. I cannot find a way to completely remove it. Is there a way?
You could remove it in "File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars - Main Toolbar - Toolbar RunActions - Run/Debug"
It's a bug. The issue tracking it can be found here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-183545
OK thanks, I followed you instructions but the button is still there! I even restarted the application as well. I am using intelliJ 2017.2 community edition on a Mac.

How to force IntelliJ IDEA to show welcome screen again?

IntelliJ has a very good welcome screen, but after first use, when I open IntelliJ the next time, it will open my last opened project directly. But what if I want to revisit the welcome screen? Is there a way to do it without restarting IntelliJ?
I am using IntelliJ IDEA 14.
https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/welcome-screen.html
I'm using not IntelliJ but WebStorm however, maybe same settings.
how about this?
[File] - [Settings] - [Appearance & Behavior] - [System Settings]
uncheck "Reopen last project on startup"
Close all open project windows (File | Close Project).
Sometimes I want to come back to the Welcome screen only to see the list of recent projects with a little more details than a simple list. However, I don't want to close the open project.
If that's your case you can to this in the version 2016.3:
File -> Open Recent -> Manage Projects...
UPDATE 1
#Gagan made a comment (below) asking about how to import a project this with this solution.
If I've understood the question correctly, you can do this either by directly opening a project (Open...) or by creating a new one from Existing Sources or from Version Control, as is show below:
In both cases, IntelliJ will ask you to open in the same window (which will close you current project) or in a new window (the current and the new one stay open), as show below:
Please, let us know if it works for you!
For IntelliJ 2020.3 use:
`File -> Settings -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings and uncheck Reopen projects on startup.
Select File -> Close project. This will cause the welcome screen to appear.
I saw it in the learning course
To return to the welcome screen, just close the project window. Alternatively, you can select File | Close Project from the main menu. Also, you can use the File menu to open or create new projects. By default, the Learn tool window is hidden. You can open it by selecting Help | Learn IDE Features from the main menu.
