Internal Editor - Refresh inplace - Refresh kb shortcut

Hi
When using WinSCP to look at log files it would be really handy to have the F5 key refresh the file rather than having to use the mouse to press the refresh button.

Just to add to the wish list, if the line number position in file could stay over a refresh then this would be ace. This would make tracking logging events a breeze.

Thanks in advance

There's keyboard shortcut for that: Ctrl+R

Ah
Ctrl+R to refresh. Good to know!
On the main interface F5 refreshes the file / directory list
Assumed this would be so in the internal editor also...
Maybe it should too???

P.S. I know it sounds like we're all moaning about trivial issues with your great application but please imagine I'm posting this with a big smile and a thumbs up for all you hard work. I know what its like to code open source and it makes you wonder why you do it more often than not! That being said i use WinSCP on a daily basis. I should donate! Ok i will! From mhume with love!

@mhume: WinSCP has two main interfaces (Commander and Explorer), each with different refresh shortcut (Ctrl+R or F5). What makes it bit more complicated.

@mhume: See Issue 986 – F5 shortcut to reload file in internal editor

Hi @martin any plans to fix this bug in upcoming releases? Thanks

There's Ctrl+R shortcut.

@martin: No. The internal editor cursor issue:
