Browser Refresh is based off of the TextMate snippet "refresh current running browser". In other words it allows you to call a command and reload the front window of your current browser. It also contains the option to auto return focus to vim after the browser has done it's thing.
In it's current implementation, it only works from within MacVim. It seems to work from within Terminal Vim, but there are some issues with screen redrawing. Stay tuned for updates to other vim implementations.
For more information on the plugin: :h browser-refresh within vim or take a look at the help files on github.
Download, fork, clone, or use it as a submodule within your .vim directory.
Browser Refresh requires the following:
- Vim version 7.0 or above
- MacVim is recommended
- Google Chrome, Safari or Firefox (Mac)
- Need to make this work from other environments
- Added support for other browsers
Inspired by:
- The TextMate snippet in the HTML bundle
- A burning desire to never touch my mouse again
