Reset or refresh opened file #13212

Describe the feature

(Sorry if dupe, searched pretty hard and couldn't find anything.)

Zed will notice when a file has updated out-of-band and warn me when I try to save, which is great. But how can I do the equivalent to Vim's :e! to reset to the current file's content?

Even better would be for a buffer which was initially unmodified (i.e. saved to disk) to just automatically refresh when it notices the file changed (i.e. due to a Git branch switch). It doesn't seem like that happens now. It seems like it prefers to retain the old content and deem it "modified" (state != disk) and then warns me about closing with unsaved changes. (I could be wrong here, sorry if so.) (edit: just saw this working, so not sure what gave me that impression)

Side note: I have the tab bar disabled locally for a more Vim-like experience, otherwise I end up with a million tabs duped between all my panels. So not seeing the file modification state might be a factor in my UX here.

Thanks for reporting! Looks like we need to create an action for this, and then bind :e to do it. If you want to pair on this https://calendly.com/conradirwin/pairing

I'd like it if it noticed the file was updated out of band immediately as well.
