Before I came here, I went to executing command from within Vim and learned it can be done using:
:!command
Then I went to executing it silently and figured how that I need to run:
:silent exec "!command"
Now I want to do it periodically like every 5 seconds or so. Can anyone help me?
The requirement is that I need to generate tags on the go as I write the code using Ctags.
I'll prefer OG answers if possible over the Plugins and some other tools/utilities.
