It uses jQuery.
The idea is listen for Crtl+E (which is very close to Crtl+R) to reload ONLY the stylesheets in the page.
This is non intrusive, it doesn't require any configuration in the server at all, it plays nicely with Rails Asset Pipeline, and it definitely speeds up CSS development.
It won't update the CSS in real time, for that you should look at Guard LiveReload or similar
