window-config-reloaded

Since: Version 20210314-114017-04b7cedd

The functionality described in this section requires version 20210314-114017-04b7cedd of wezterm, or a more recent version.

The window-config-reloaded event is emitted when the configuration for a window has been reloaded. This can occur when the configuration file is detected as changed (when automatically_reload_config is enabled), when the configuration is explicitly reloaded via the ReloadConfiguration key action, and when window:set_config_overrides is called for the window.

This event is fire-and-forget from the perspective of wezterm; it fires the event to advise of the config change, but has no other expectations.

If you call window:set_config_overrides from inside this event callback then an additional window-config-reloaded event will be triggered. You should take care to avoid creating a loop by only calling window:set_config_overrides when the actual override values are changed.

The first event parameter is a window object that represents the gui window.

The second event parameter is a pane object that represents the active pane in that window.

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

wezterm.on('window-config-reloaded', function(window, pane)
  wezterm.log_info 'the config was reloaded for this window!'
end)
