[Feature request] Refresh File #1063

Closed AaronB2019 closed 2 years ago

AaronB2019 commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The problem is the when the file is externally modified, there is no way to refresh to get the most updated information. Currently, notepads would just inform that the file has been externally modified and user can only reopen the file which is annoying. For example, when modifying it through certain codes.

Describe the solution you'd like The solution would be similar to notepad++. When the file is externally modified. There will be pop up menu that asks the user if you would like to reload the text file.

Describe alternatives you've considered Another solution would probably just be having a shortcut key to refresh the file such as CTRL + R.

Thank you for your time.

Click on the file path and here you go: image

The reason I am not forcing a pop-up window is simply because it is too annoying. As you already seen, Notepads will notify you for the external edit. If you want to reload, just click the button in the above screenshot. Or Ctrl+Shift+R.

Oh wow! I didn't know you could click on the path! Yes, I agree that the pop up window is super annoying. This is much better especially with a hotkey! I didn't know the bottom right texts can be clicked too! Amazing! Thank you so much for your time!
