Always sets autoread

pkrumins opened this issue · 3 comments

Hi Greg,

Thanks for creating this awesome plugin!

I'm opening this issue because the plugin automatically and unconditionally sets autoread at https://github.com/wincent/terminus/blob/master/plugin/terminus.vim#L15.

The default value of autoread is off and as the plugin is loaded after user's .vimrc, it always sets it to true. This makes it impossible to keep autoread off. I prefer autoread to be off because if an external process changes a file and autoread is on, then there is no notification about it and vim instantly and unexpectedly reloads the file.

At the moment, I solved this problem for myself by deleting the set autoread line so that it's off by default.

Could you please add an option to enable/disable autoread so that it can be configured?

I don't think this needs an option. You can override it with something like:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/after/plugin
echo 'set noautoread' >> ~/.vim/after/plugin/terminus.vim

Let me know if that doesn't work for you, but I'm going to close this anticipating that it probably will.

Funny thing to note: 'autoread' default to "on" in Neovim, "off" in Vim.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response. I was not aware of the after directory. I just tried it and it works great!

Good to know!
