How to refresh content currently modified by external program?
-
Assume I have opened a (log)file with Notepad++
I can see the current content.
During the file is open another program is continously adding text lines to the end of the file.
How can I tell NP++ to
1.) automatically update the visible content to the current state every lets say 30 seconds?
2.) How can I tell NP++ to update the visible content once on-demand by pressing a hotkey (e.g. F5)?

I think there use to be a plugin to monitor a document for changes. NppMonitor or something, not sure. But AFAIK this isn’t built into Notepad++ already.

In the shortcut mapper you can assign a shortcut key to the “Reload from File” menu command.
