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.
