Visual Studio Code: Auto-refresh file changes

SUPER-SHIFT-p > File: Revert File is the only way

(where SUPER is Command on Mac and Ctrl on PC)

{
    "files.useExperimentalFileWatcher" : true
}

in Code -> Preferences -> Settings

Tested with Visual Studio Code Version 1.26.1 on mac and win

VSCode will never refresh the file if you have changes in that file that are not saved to disk. However, if the file is open and does not have changes, it will replace with the changes on disk, that is true.

There is currently no way to disable this behaviour.
