I often use two xjed instances on my desktop, sometimes also with the
same file. When I safe to file in one instance, the buffer in the other
instance gets flagged (with -d- in the status bar) after a screen update
(cursor move, say). Then I can choose to re-load the file with File>Reload
(Alt-F L). For me, this is sufficiently efficent and I stay in control.
(You can also bind the "reload_buffer" function to a key-combo of your
choice.)
