Hi Tien, You can use ':e[dit]' to reload the current file. Perhaps you could set up something with an autocommand based on the CursorHold event and reduce the updatetime to half a second? For example:
set updatetime=500 augroup RefreshFile autocmd! autocmd CursorHold somefile.log edit augroup end However, this may not work so well if you have multiple files open in Vim. regards, Peter --- Tien Pham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all > > Is there any key stroke to update content of a currently open file when its > content has been changed? > > Reason for this is that I want to look at my log file from a simulation, as > I run simulation so frequently, it is so tedious to click "open" and > "select" the same file name to see the changes that a new simulation is > recorded in the log file.
