[vim/vim] new command :xrestore to restore X11 connection after X11 server restart (#844)
Adrian Kocis
Added new command :xrestore to reinitialize connection to X11 server. Useful after X server restarts (e.g. when running Vim for a long time inside screen/tmux and connecting from different machines). Requires +clipboard feature to be compiled in Vim.
Usage:
Reinitialize connection to X11 server running on localhost:11.0:
:xrestore localhost:11.0
Reinitialize connection while keeping X11 server from the last invocation of this command (if it was never executed with an argument, then the X11 server address is the one, that Vim read during startup from DISPLAY environment variable):
:xrestore

has this command been removed ?

I'm occasionally troubled by bad rendering after an X server disconnection/restart, so am looking forward to this issue getting merged!

Seeing this has been closed, is there an alternative/workaround?
