After a long time I had now some time to look at it. So first this can be solved easily with ``` set autoread ``` But this is problematic and doesn't work well in Vim. Here is a mailing list post (yeah I know it's 10 years old but hey it still applies!: http://www.mail-archive.com/vim@vim.org/msg05900.html) That's why people add additionaly an autocmd in form of: ``` set autoread autocmd BufEnter *.go silent! checktime ``` This triggers automatically checktime, which triggers to reload any other file that was changed outside Vim. This works perfectly for `:GoRename`. But we don't need the autocmd, that would otherwise call checktime for every single buffer we enter. Instead we only call it explicitly if `:GoRename` is being called. Closes #351
