vim-autoread

============

A plugin to automatically re-read your buffers, when they change

This plugin uses Vim 8 async jobs to append new buffer content. Internally, it works by running tail -f on a file and the output will be appended to the buffer, which displays this buffer.

Installation

---

Use the plugin manager of your choice.

Alternatively, since Vim 8 includes a package manager by default, clone this repository below ~/.vim/pack/dist/start/

You should have a directory ~/.vim/pack/dist/start/vim-autoread That directory will be loaded automatically by Vim.

Usage

---

Once installed, take a look at the help at :h vim-autoread.

Here is a short overview of the functionality provided by the plugin:

Ex commands:

:AutoRead     - starts a async job and will append new buffer content
                to the current buffer once it is noticed.
:AutoRead!    - stop autoreading
