Minimal Anki addon (source) for addon developers that allow selecting an addon and reload it from main window menu or shortcut (main window) to avoid having to restart Anki during addon development.
- Select addon from
Main window→Reload addon: select addonor configured shortut (defaultnone). - Reload the addon from
Main window→Reload <addon name>or configured shortcut (defaultCtrl+R)
Note that depending on how the addon is written reloading may or may not do what you expect/want. For instance if the addon initiation logic is hooked on, say, main_window_did_init, that logic wont run on reload.
In addon configuration:
Reload shortcut: Shortcut to reload the selected addonSelect shortcut: Shortcut to open select addon dialogInternal state: Addon internal state, do not edit
