nvim-lua VS nvim-reload

I recently converted vim-tmux-navigator to lua via a simple function and using A-hjkl\ binds (which has no conflicts) instead of the default C-hjkl\, feel free to reuse my code, relevant commit.

I guess this is a preference thing, I would consider my config my config highly customized and pretty advanced, it has almost 8k lines of code, I don't fiddle with it as much as when I just converted to lua but I still update ocasionally and I find lua perfect for the job, instead of macros I just create small lua functions in order to avoid code duplication (where applicable).

I'm not just giving you complements to boost your morale, I've seen your code first hand, I've used feline (we even interacted in issues) and also copied your archived nvim-reload code into my config and can recognize a good programmer when I see one.

Technically all you need to do is set package.loaded[module] = nil for all the modules you wish to reload and that's why my modded version does, it reloads all your entire neovim config and all the plugins listed in the linked init file.

FYI, just added this to my config with a slight twist (resize back once I'm done), this so great :)

My config isn’t a “permade”, it’s not meant to be a solution for anyone other than myself, nevertheless you might find it useful for plugin selection and some cool functions.

You can view my setup here.

My own version of Embark colorscheme and feline.nvim, my configuration can be found here

Btw, if anyone wants the “evil-line” equivalent config for feline you can find it here

Briefly experimented with https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload, but had some troubles configuring it

Read nvim-reload source code for reference.

I stumbled upon nvim-reload but telescope also wasn't found after :Restart

You can use this - https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload - to reload your configuration. Then it's possible to PackerSync without restart.

I haven't used reload.lua from plenary, so I don't have advice there. If you don't mind that it isn't maintained, I use this for reloading my config without restarting nvim and it has worked just fine: https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload

I use this plugin: https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload

I'm using a modded version of /u/_Famiu_ old nvim-reload which was unfortunately archived.

I'm trying to write a helper function that fully reloads nvim without the need of closing and reopening it, using as a base the now unmaintained nvim-reload with has some good info on the matter on it's source code

I think I tried https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload before but it was so long ago, and didn't work well that I don't even remember

Thank you for the insight, this is pretty much what famiu/nvim-reload does.
