Disable refresh on file change temporary

Is this a bug report?

No

Question

Is there a way to temporary disable the refresh/(css hot reload) when a file changes, without stopping the dev-server?

Reason for this

Sometimes I change the CSS in DevTools to get my page to look like I want. After that I copy the CSS changes over to my code, but when I save my file, all the changes I had not copied are lost.

I can "fix" this by copy all of CSS changes to their respective files and use "Save all files", but sometimes I need to see result before all the changes have been copied.

I have tried using "offline"-mode in DevTool, but it will still trigger a refresh, which will cause a "Offline"-chrome page.

This is not possible, but there's work around posted in old issues.
