Silent reload

[Aleksey Midenkov]

Is there silent reload option? I.e. don't ask for reload if file is
changed on disk.

If you use git and the old version is tracked somewhere there, yes.
Otherwise no, because it might lead to data loss ...

Where it is controlled?

There are lots of editors which have this option. I use it for many
years and never suffered from 'data loss'.

Since we're talking about this: there *is* one thing that annoys me in reloading a file that has detected changes:

when a file puts up the new-style embedded alert that it's been changed and offers to have it reloaded, I don't expect to get another dialog that asks me the same thing.

Yet this is exactly what happens when I use the keyboard shortcut to reload the file, and that's just a waste of time and source of potential error.
