Hotload of config file not working when symlinked

Author: jackthoCreated Mar 3, 2024Updated Oct 14, 2025

I use stow to manage my configs which manages symlinks of those configs.

This does not hotload on changes when the config is symlinked: skhd -c ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc

But pointing to the actual config does: skhd -c ~/.dotfiles/skhd/.config/skhd/skhdrc

Also, copying the config file into ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc works as well.

This is on an M3 running macOS 14.3.1.
