I coded a little plugin for trying out the controls I added to the wiki and the way I used the skin editor was

1) MediaPortal running on left monitor, SkinEditor on the right
2) Adjust the skin file in the editor
3) Click into MediaPortal, Press E (shortcut for refreshing)

When you do a lot of small changes it gets annoying that I have to leave the skin editor all the times to see the changes. So ideally I could just define a keyboard shortcut within the editor to trigger the refresh and/or an option that everytime I save the file it also refreshes the skin.

The easiest way I can think of is to just send a user-defined key event to MediaPortal.
