After installing this plugin you can hit command + shift + r on Mac OS X or ctrl + shift + r on Windows while using your favorite browser, the last active window will come to the foreground (optional in Chrome, Canary and Safari on Mac) and reload the active tab. If the current file is unsaved, it will be saved before the browser is activated and reloaded.

To edit settings go to Preferences > Package Settings > Browser Refresh

[
    {
        "keys": ["command+shift+r"], "command": "browser_refresh", "args": {
            "auto_save": true,
            "delay": 0.5,
            "activate_browser": true,
            "browser_name" : "Google Chrome"
        }
    }
]

auto_save - If set to true you current file in Sublime Text will be save before refreshing the browser window.

delay - Adds a delay (in seconds) before triggering the refresh. Seems to be useful if you are using a CSS or JavaScript pre-processor. The default is 0.0 seconds.

activate_browser - If set to true when you press the keys it will bring the browser to the foreground. Note: On Windows this setting is always true.

browser_name - Specify which browser to use. The default is Google Chrome but you can change it to Google Chrome Canary, Safari,Firefox, Opera, IE, Iron or all which will try to refresh any of the above present in your system. Note: on Windows use Google Chrome if you want to use Canary, because at the moment it's very hard to distinguish between them as both report themselves as Chrome. This also means that if you have both Chrome and Canary running, it will refresh the active tab on both browsers.

• Google Chrome (Mac, Win)
• Google Chrome Canary (Mac, Win - see note above)
• Safari (Mac, Win)
• Firefox (Mac, Win)
• Opera (Mac, Win)
• Internet Explorer (Win)
