Browser Refresh

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.

Install

Follow the instructions in the Marketplace, or run the following in the command palette:

ext install fabiospampinato.vscode-browser-refresh

Usage

It adds 2 commands to the command palette:

Browser: Refresh // Refresh the browser
Browser: Force Refresh // Force refresh the browser

It adds 2 shortcuts:

Cmd+R // Refresh the browser
Shift+Cmd+R // Force refresh the browser

Settings

{
  "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
}
