I think you may have misunderstood the point of the example code you seem to have based this on. I assume you saw the previously featured tip on the wiki: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Execute_external_programs_asynchronously_under_Windows You cannot, with this method alone, get something to happen asynchronously WITHIN Vim. The tip only deals with getting a task to happen OUTSIDE OF Vim, then getting the results into Vim ONCE, without causing Vim to hang and wait for the results. If you want a continuous refresh, that will need to be controlled by whatever external task you spawn. You will need to wait in a loop in the external process, and call Vim's client-server features whenever Vim should take some action. You will not be able to make Vim take the action on its own, at least not easily. Vim has no built-in asynchronous capabilities. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
