Hi,

thanks for the tip!

Command + [1-9] does the job, I wonder if that could be done programmatically though.

I'm building a bundle to interact with Extempore, an environment used (among other things) for audiovisual livecoding. More info here: http://benswift.me/2012/09/26/interacting-with-the-extempore-compiler/

Essentially, the bundle [1] reads a scheme expression then sends its to the Extempore server via TCP. The server returns some results which get printed out to the HTML window (with some bells and whistles - that's why I'm not using a simple tooltip).

The links you've suggested look very interesting but maybe a bit too complex for my usecase? Livereload does not seem to be free though. I should look more into Browsersync..

Thanks,

Michele

You could use Command + [1-9] to reselect a tab.

I don’t know what you’re building, but if you wanted to, you could add LiveReload or BrowserSync, this would take care of auto refresh for you. This way you would only open the HTML output once, and refreshes would be triggered automatically on save.
