Description

Hi Adam,

I’m using the below with AutoHotKey to quickly refresh my browser via a hotkey. It’s Windows specific though (although I bet there’s alternatives for Mac and Linux).

I find it useful to refresh only at key moments, which this solution offers.

Happy to add a section to your docs if you want, on this solution. Or if you’d prefer, I could just flesh this solution out in a blog, and just reference that. No probs if you feel this is not a good idea 😃

Cheers, Andy.

F2::
; Save current window
WinActivate,ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1

; ---------------------------------------

; Refresh Chrome
Process, Exist, chrome.exe
    If(ErrorLevel) {
        WinActivate, ahk_pid %ErrorLevel%
        Send {F5}
    }

; ---------------------------------------

I think a blog post is the best place to describe your solution.

I’m happy to add a docs section with links to alternatives, for those who find django-browser-reload doesn’t work for them, for whatever reason.

Have you tried django-browser-reload? How does it compare?

Closing due to age, but feel free to open a PR in the future for an “alternatives” section.
