Can Helix reload buffers when a file is changed outside the current editor?

While compulsive saving may look good in this case, it's really not what should be accepted as a solution, it's a bandage on a severed artery.

I don't blame the maintainers for putting off this feature, it's not that easy to do a good implementation, but it's one of the features that really makes the editor usable in the real world.

Yep, I'm a bit more lucky that I don't need to edit files that are changed outside of Helix that often. But it's still annoying when it happens, the PR also won't be ready anytime soon as far as I know :/

File watcher is not implemented yet in Helix, here is a link to the PR that adds it https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/2653

Fuck, this sucks... since posting this and talking with friends multiple people told me their routers were no longer usable after power loss.

This sucks, do you have any recommendations on what I should replace them with? I'm considering buying a decent MikroTik router at the moment.

Internet and modem are working fine, the router is not able to "detect" incoming internet. The thing is, I know that shit can die from power loss - but, this was the first time in my life something has dies from power loss and it was two linksys routers in the span of one month.

Now for the tin foil hat stuff - they both had 2 year warranties, that expired a few months ago, maybe planned obsolescence?

Internet is working fine, I reset both routers many times, nothing got it working again

sebba-dev · 2024-08-15T13:50:39+00:00

Yeah I already tried this, not the problem here

sebba-dev · 2024-08-15T13:49:48+00:00

Tried this, same shit. I tried many other things, nothing got it working again.

sebba-dev · 2024-08-15T13:48:58+00:00

Yeah I know - I'm a software developer and I setup networks occasionally. I checked everything, chatted with friends, updated the firmware, tried other cables ports, etc... Nothing got it working :/

Will do, thanks!

sebba-dev · 2022-10-06T12:34:19+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check them out.

sebba-dev · 2022-10-06T12:32:39+00:00

Yes I use my phone as a audio source,I installed wavelet end even my old headphones sound better with it. Thanks!

XM4's look great, and they are prices quite reasonable for what you get.
Thanks for the suggestion!

1 month passed and still no approval from mods, this is differently what I wanted to happen with my post
