Reload configuration does not work when the config is symlinked

[rgomezcasas]

Since I symlinked the config in order to back it up in my dotfiles, the reload config action has stopped working:

I have to close and reopen Ghostty in order to reload the config.

I've also tried to symlink only the config file instead of the whole folder, but the problem is the same.

My environment:

• macOS 15.1
• Ghostty d22464f, build 7860

Thanks!

I can't reproduce this. Are you sure the configuration file exists and is readable? Are you sure you're reloading the configuration? Are you sure the keys you're reloading are reloadable (i.e. font-size does nothing to existing windows)? I tried both the directory and file and they both reloaded properly.

Sorry, it was that. I was changing the font size, but as the config says, it only affects to new windows, not to the current ones.

Thanks and sorry again!
