Pause HMR from console?

I use `angular-starter` including this project and IDE which saves changes automatically. Although I don't use server with `:hmr`, it reloads my app anyway what is really disturbing sometime. So here comes my question: can I execute some global command or set some variable which will affect in pausing hot module reload? Something like e.g. `HMR_ACTIVE = false;`. I haven't found this in readme.
