Update web resources via hotkey

Could you please provide more details? Do you want to update static files or you're running an application server?

Hi guys,

I have a dual-monitor setup with IntelliJ running on one side and Firefox on the other.

Okay - to summarize:

• I have a split view of a CSS and a HTML file open in IntelliJ.
• Tomcat is running and Firefox displays the HTML file that uses the CSS file.
• I make a change to the CSS file AND the HTML file.
• I press the hotkey for 'Compile' (F9 for me): It only updates/repackages the currently open file (so HTML OR CSS).

But I want to update BOTH at the same time with only one key press.

How do I do that?

Define a macro and bind that to a keyboard accellerator?

I already am a user of AutoHotKey - so I guess it could be done (for example: F9 + 'Goto Next Splitter' + F9 + 'Goto Next Splitter').

But I still think IntelliJ should be able to do this natively! I mean multi-monitor setups are very common
...I wonder how other designers develop CSS+HTML with IntelliJ?

In case anyone is interested - here is my trivial script for AutoHotKey:

F12::repackage()
     repackage() {
               Send, {F9}
               Sleep, 50
               Send, ^!{Right}
               Sleep, 50
               Send, {F9}
               Sleep, 50
               Send, !^{Right}
     }
