Re: How to use "tail -f" in Vim's 8.1 :terminal command window?

Did you try the same, tail - f, but from outside vim?

If not wrong, vim is dumping the whole buffer to the file on save (not 'appending' new content) so I wouldn't be surprised it tail - f did not work because of it.

Hi,

I installed Vim 8.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 using PPA.

1. Now I am editing myfile.txt file in vim.

2. I opened new terminal windows inside vim

with command: :terminal

3. New terminal opens. I typed in:

tail -f myfile.txt

4. I moved back to ordinary Vim window:

Ctrl+w

5. I type in some text and save with :w

PROBLEM: I expect terminal windows refreshes

because of tail -f command, but actually

nothing really happens in :terminal window.

If this is working this would be super-powerful

feature using vim and ssh.

Any idea?

Thanks
