If I open the same file in two gvim sessions, and modify and write the

See :help 'autoread'
Note that Vim doesn't know that "the other program" which modified the
file is another instance of Vim -- it could be anything. Also, this
won't work if Vim notices that a 'modified' file has also been modified
somewhere else: in this case you will have to decide which changes to trash.
Finer control (but also more occasions to shoot yourself in the foot) is
afforded by the FileChangedShell autocommand event.
I type :set autoread in both vim session starting from genome-
terminal. Then, I write to the file from one vim session, the other
vim doesn't know the file has been changed. However, gvim knows a file
has been changed. Therefore, I doubt that it is because of some
configuration problem.
Then, what is the different between gvim and vim cause the difference
in this behavior?
See :help FileChangedShell
gvim checks the file's timestamp when it regains input focus. Most
console versions cannot detect that they have lost or gained focus, see
":help FocusGained" and ":help FocusLost".
The command
:checktime
(q.v.) will also trigger the check.
Best regards,
Tony.
