Vim plugin to reload your browser. This is a linux compatible version inspired by the mac version https://github.com/tell-k/vim-browsereload-mac
Thanks to aareman, the new version of the plugin fixes a refresh glitch with ctrl-r getting spammed in vim as well as the following features:
A) Add a Reload Delay
A new g:reloadDelay variable which can be set to hackily get around waiting for a build system to finish before reloading.
B) Reload on all file changes
A new g:reloadAll variable, which if set will add the reload command to all php,js,css, and html files in your project.
xdotool v3.20150503.1 https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool
For Debian and Ubuntu users, you can find it in the package manager.
sudo apt-get install xdotool
Otherwise, it's preferred to download the latest version and build it. If you get build errors, make sure you have 'libxext-dev' package.

By default, after reload browser focus will retain back to the vim window.
If you want to stop returnApp and keep the focus on the browser, change variable "g:returnAppFlag" to 0
"default is 1
let g:returnAppFlag = 1
If you want old style commad, write this setting in your .vimrc
