'Is it possible to change .cshtml View and see the changes instantly using .NET Core?
Context
In my .NET Framework 4.x ASP.NET MVC projects, when using the Visual Studio IDE, it was possible to edit a .cshtml view, save, then press ctrl+F5 in the browser and see the change immediately.
This seems to be no longer work in ASP.NET Core applications (using Visual Studio 2019 and .NET Core 3 Preview 5).
Question
Is this feature missing in ASP.NET Core? Is this a preview issue? Or am I missing something?

I've marked Kirk's answer as accepted, but maybe this experience could be useful also.
My goal was a "quick edit (cshtml/css/js/ts) then see" iteration.
No need to add and mod anything... I discovered that .NET Core (3) and VS 2019 is so much faster, so in case if we do not want to debug in VS (which is the scenario in most cases when we are changing cshtml/css/js/ts) there is really great iteration:
- Press ctrl+f5 to launch your web app (no debug) in browser
- See, test (debug js/ts in Chrome)
- Edit your cshtml/css/js/ts
- Press ctrl+shift+b to build (fast!)
- Switch to your browser and press ctrl+f5 to refresh your page (fast!)
- Goto 2
