What’s wrong with M-x revert-buffer (you can bind a key to it if you like)? Or even auto-revert-mode?

I always press ‘r’ twice when I need to reload a file which has been changed.

At least, it’s useful in Emacs 23.

Whoops. It looks like suppressing the warning means that the query defaults to ‘no’ instead of ‘yes’, in other words, no reload.

I should test my code a bit more before showing it off.

I found your function and put it to use on fixing the same irritating behavior. If you’re interested, you can replace the find-file line with:

(find-file-noselect (buffer-name) t)

The optional argument will suppress the “file changed on disk…” warning, making the reload even easier.

Thanks again!
