I use Terminator as a terminal emulator and I like it a lot, I would just like to do one thing and I haven't been able to find out how to do it.
So, I know how I can right-click, go to preferences, and select the color profile and font. Then when I'm done, the terminator instance that I accessed preferences from reflects the updates that I've just made (i.e. the colors/fonts are different). I'd like to be able to do this but by manually editing the configuration file at
~/.config/terminator/config
and then having an active terminator session reload the config file, then reflect those changes without having to restart the emulator.
Is there a way to do this?--Some sort of command to send to terminator to tell it to reload itself from the config file without having to close the actual program? I feel like this should be possible because if I manually edit the configurations through the GUI, the changes are reflected without the process needing to be restarted.
