@clevername27 Yes I am aware that HISE will overwrite the changes. I am suggesting a button or just a function that we can bind to a shortcut "reload and compile" which basically uses the file on Disc and not from the memory.
I believe this should be easy to implement since we already have Load XML which basically does the same, reload all scripts, xml and compile them.
If we could only get a shortcut or button for this functionality...
I think the HISE editor is great for what it is but it will always lack against other editors which main job is to edit text. I am a big fan of removing dependencies and having a editor which I can style, use plugins (heck even VIM bindings) and have a very reliable and fast editing experience would be my biggest Christmas wish.
Many IDE's have moved away from this baked in editor style approach, just less dependencies and maintenance.
@Christoph-Hart can you play Santa and look into this? Mainly just a "reload and compile" function that we can bind to a shortcut?
