Refresh the browser with a ⌘R, right from Code. No need to switch focus to it.
It's currently implemented using an AppleScript, which makes this extension macOS only. If you know how to do the same on Windows or Linux please submit a PR.
Follow the instructions in the Marketplace, or run the following in the command palette:
ext install fabiospampinato.vscode-browser-refreshIt adds 2 commands to the command palette:
Browser: Refresh // Refresh the browser
Browser: Force Refresh // Force refresh the browserIt adds 2 shortcuts:
Cmd+R // Refresh the browser
Shift+Cmd+R // Force refresh the browser{
"browserRefresh.browser": "Google Chrome" // The browser to refresh
"browserRefresh.delay": 0, // Delay after which ⌘R will be sent to the browser
"browserRefresh.focus": false // Keep the focus on the browser
}If you found a problem, or have a feature request, please open an issue about it.
If you want to make a pull request you can debug the extension using Debug Launcher.
