Is there any way to cause autoread to trigger more often? As far as I
can tell, it only triggers on a focus change (just a guess). So, if
some external program is slowly writing to the file, you don't get the
updates (in Windows anyway) unless you switch back and forth between
gvim and the command shell.
I didn't try it, but I think you can make vim check file-timestamps
as often as you want with these 2 tricks:
1. set updatetime=100 " 100 millisec
au CursorHold * :checktime
2. invoke ':checktime' from a function invoked from statusline via %{}
mechanism
I like #1 better because it never slows down interactivity of vim
while #2 can slow down.
