Hi everyone
Thanks Clip for your tip.
I have to say that this VIM group has so many helpful experts. For people
with limited understanding in computing language like me, this is so great
and I am very grateful.
Regards

Sorry, it seems I was a little naive with that autocommand I showed you, it
doesn't work because CursorHold won't trigger again until you press a
key. After a little experimentation, I think you would best add something
like this
CursorHold will fire (once) some time has elapsed after a key has been
pressed. Of course, if one wishes
to simply watch the file change and isn't pressing keys, this method won't
work well. So, may I suggest
that one use two vims -- one a "tickler" and one your actual display.
This approach your vims have the
+clientserver option compiled in.
Here's the idea for the tickler in rough:
1. the "actual display" vim is also started up as a server
2. the tickler is running
while 1
sleep 1
endwhile
3. inside the tickler's while loop it also does a
remote_send(server,":e")
Ideally commands would only be sent when the "actual display" vim is in
normal mode.
Perhaps something tricky with RemoteReply autocmds, etc could be used to
insure this.
