How can I make Sublime Text (3) re-load the file currently being edited, to take into account changes having been made externally?
4 Answers
To re-load the current file, you can revert the file, either through the menu entry File | Revert File
or through the command File: Revert
(open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and type revert
).
To make it easier in the future, you can bind a shortcut to the revert command, for example F5, simply by adding an entry to your key bindings (Preferences | Key Bindings - User
):
{
"keys": ["f5"],
"command": "revert"
}

Reverting causes the file to go blank :( Sublime build 3114. Commented Jul 28, 2016 at 11:47

Although there is an accepted answer, it requires that we have to refresh manually everytime by pressing F5. Try this package Auto Refresh
here. This automatically refreshes the file in x seconds which is configurable.

Though asked more than a year ago: you can also use "File->Reopen with encoding..." command. Note, all your changes made so far will be discarded while performing reload/revert

1how can we do this to all files, not just individually, manually? and how can we make it do this right away, rather than having to trigger it manually after a merge or checkout? Commented Nov 30, 2015 at 22:33

What's the point of making such a note. How do I open a door? Well, you open a door, but note the door will be open. Wow. Thanks.– poigeCommented Feb 2, 2018 at 10:56
In addition, I just realized that when switching from the search bar to the main editor panel, it refresh the view.
So ctrl+F then escape.
Not the best, but no configuration or clicking required. Also, I would expect it not to work if you have unsaved edition.
always_prompt_for_file_reload
has to be set totrue
in settings.
