Ahh, I see the disconnect.

I set it up to deploy on save of the file or when the editor loses focus (when it auto-saves). So while you are correct I have to do “something” to make it deploy that “something” is either a hot key or me clicking out of my editor into the browser to refresh the page (talking about PHP here, all my frontend Vue work I do locally with a watch script to rebuild on changes).

Fair, that's more or less equivalent to a task runner watching the files. I'd recommend that approach only because it decouples the action from the editor. As long as the file changes, it executes.

I do the same with inotify tools and an alias or makefile. A simple editor like Geany can save on focus change.
