Navigator not updating often enough

[tweakimp]

Currently, the navigator is only updating when I go to another file or save the current file.
But when I delete a function definition for example, the function still stays in the navigator until I save.

I think it should check if there was a change or just redraw the tree more often.

I suggest this event subscription. I tried to put it in myself, but I could get it to work.

Currently, I use universal-ctags to check tag/symbol when file is saved already and not check them on buffer.
But you do it! Wow! Would you mind to send the pull request?
Thanks a lot!

This is what I got so far, but I cant get it to work. Currently, once the new event happens, the tree disappears, but it is not drawn again. I dont know what is missing, maybe you can fix it.

In symbols-navigator-view.js:

populate() {
		const editor = this.getEditor();
		this.statusBarManager.setEmptySymbolLabel();
		if (editor != null) {
			let filePath = editor.getPath();
			if (filePath !== this.previousFilePath || this.refreshTag) {
				this.generateTags(filePath);
				this.refreshTag = false;
				this.currentTag = null;
			}
			this.previousFilePath = filePath;
			this.onEditorSave = editor.onDidSave((event) => {
				filePath = event.path;
				this.generateTags(filePath);
			});
			// I ADDED THIS
			this.onEditorStopChanging = editor.onDidStopChanging((event) => {
				filePath = event.path;
				this.generateTags(filePath);
			});
			this.statusBarManager.update(this.currentTag);
			this.onChangeRow = ...

and:

	removeEventForEditor() {
		if (this.onEditorSave != null) {
			this.onEditorSave.dispose();
		}
		// I ADDED THIS
		if (this.onEditorStopChanging != null) {
			this.onEditorStopChanging.dispose();
		}
		if (this.onChangeRow != null) {
			this.onChangeRow.dispose();
		}
	}

Hi @tweakimp ,
Thanks for the information, I tried, and can get buffer text correctly.
But, there is one problem, I don't have any idea to solve it. That is the universal-ctags needs to input a file to parser. But, the buffer text is only string format. lol
