External preview refresh

Post by nesoor »

Hey there! :D

Is there any possibility to let the external preview refresh automatically?
Also I would like that the css preview shows the text I wrote in the html/php file if this is possible :)

If you use Full Screen Preview (Tools -> Full Screen Preview) then you can just press F5 while writing code (i.e. without switching from the editor to the external preview window) and it will refresh. That way you can refresh as much as you like, without it being too often.

There is a way to preview your css with a custom html (but not php) file: select one of the Preview tabs, select your file using this button:

After that you can use full screen preview, too, and it will use your selected file.

Thank you for your reply!
The preview for css and html works great! thanks!
Also the F5 works good but it disappointed me a little that it doesn't refresh automatically this would safe me a lot time pressing that F5 xD
