Way cool! Chromium browser reloads source code view! Automatically.

I just discovered a really neat feature of the Chormium browser (the Linux version of the Chrome Google browser).

I imagine this is in Chrome as well.

If you do a Ctrl-U to look at the source code then go to your source file to make a change and come back to your source code view in Chromium, pressing F5, the source code changes to reflect the change you made to the source code file.

In other words you don't have to refresh the page which has the actual web site loaded. Just refresh the page with the source code.

Way neat. It will speed up my development.

I just though I would share this neat discovery with you all.

I had no idea. The code view in Firefox looks so crummy usually that I don't even bother using it and have it set to open up in an external editor. But I pretty much stopped using Firefox a couple of weeks ago. It was a real memory hog and would freeze up on me. Chromium is a bit rough around the edges but real nice for how I like to work.
