Subject: Command to re-read current file?
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 14:30:45 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bglqml$jcc$1@reader1.panix.com> (raw)
If the file corresponding to the current buffer changes on disk,
and I want the buffer to reflect the new version, I normally do
"C-f [RET] yes". It bugs me to have to answer 'yes' (or even 'y')
in these cases. Is there a command to tell Emacs, "re-read the
file from disk and don't ask me about it"?
But this is a relatively trivial issue. A far more important
question is the following meta-question: how could I have figured
out the answer to the previous question on my own? I tried apropos
with various query strings, such as "re-find", "re-open", "re-visit",
and variants thereof, but they yielded nothing. Is there a better
approach to finding the command for an Emacs functionality?
Thanks!
bill
