description

TailMinusF allows you to view the contents of a file in real time.  When a change in the file is detected, the window displaying the file is updated and repositioned to the last line. The update is not exactly real time, but usually updates within a few seconds of the file change.  The update interval of the output is determined by the |updatetime| parameter, along with continued usage of Vim.  This means that if you are not doing any editing or motion commands, the preview window will not be updated.  See |CursorHold| for more information. Because this window becomes the preview window, it will accept all related commands.  For more information, see |preview-window|. Once installed, simply use ':Tail <filename>' to see the file. Use ':pclose' to close this window.

install details

- Unzip the files into your Vim runtime path (vimfiles on Windows, .vim on Unix) - In Vim, run ':helptags' to rebuild your help file - Restart Vim
