I used to use Notepad++ with Auto-Refresh in Chrome. Since updating to 64-bit NPP, however, that plugin stopped working (it was 32-bit only). I decided it was time to upgrade my Editor, so I started using Atom.
I don't really want to preview WITHIN the editor because it's too cramped and, besides, I have 3 monitors.
I already rounded up the usual suspects (i.e. top Google search results), and none of them would work. They include:
- Browser-refresh
- atom-browser-refresh-on-save
- browser-plus
- preview-plus
Please enlighten me as to reasonable options given these criteria:
- Novice programmer (using an IDE may be pearls before swine, but I'm open to it)
- Browser must auto refresh when A) file changes or B) file is saved
- Windows 7 64-bit (fwiw)
NB: I already tried several options and I've googled my fingers to the bone, so please skip the "RTFM" and "LMGTFY" responses.
Thank you for your help!

to your page. Just set a “breakpoint” or two at interesting lines in your code and run. When you hit one, you can examine the call stack to see how you got there, examine variable values and even change them. The debugger is your best friend, bar none.
