Wish Force IDE Reload for externally edited code

I recently posted an application that I use to externally edit and inject code I get from an AI into my source code files automatically.

I am on a slower computer doing this and it used to be that the IDE would detect an external code change and reload the code window to reflect that change almost instantly. Well, that isn't happening anymore. Sometimes not for 10-15 minutes. If I don't notice that the change didn't actually occur and I run the application, the IDE first saves the code (which overwrites the new changes made externally) and saves the code that is in the IDE window over the edited code that never populated to the IDE.
I would love for there to be a quick way (like the push of a function button like f8 or whatever), that would force the IDE to reload the code in the open windows to reflect external edits. Is there any way for me to create custom controls for the IDE that will accomplish this or do I just have to wish that the powers that be will take this under advisement, should they see it, and possibly, hopefully, implement it in future updates to the IDE?
I don't mean for that to come off as snarky. Tone is hard to read in text. It is a legit question.

(It would be beneficial if it actually reloaded code in all modules, not just the open ones.)

Sorry if I am out of topic or seems hijacking.

I am more interested if new modules are added externally (maybe through macros) to the Main module (.b4a or .b4j file), the IDE will refresh the list in Modules tab using a command link/macro.

Additionally, can we also use macro to simulate:
1. right click, Refresh in Libraries Manager tab
2. Sync button in Files Manager tab ?

In other words, instead of "codesync", we also have "modulesync", "libsync" and "filesync" ;)
