This plugin allows you to reload urxvt configuration at runtime
by sending SIGHUP to the urxvt process.
Currently only color, font and geometry settings are reloaded.
- To switch between a high-contrast and low-constrast color schemes based on sunlight levels.
- To switch font sizes when the terminal is moved to another screen with a different DPI.
- ... and much more!
Example usage scripts might be added later.
- urxvt (obviously)
- Perl ≥ 5.20 (could be easily fixed to work with more ancient versions if needed)
- AnyEvent
- Linux::FD
- common::sense
You can install the needed packages with CPAN:
sudo cpan AnyEvent Linux::FD common::sense
Copy config-reload into ~/.urxvt/ext/. Add config-reload to the
URxvt.perl-ext-common option in Xresources. E.g.:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,clipboard,...,config-reload
