      Re: Restarting MM² when config.js file changes

      Currently I am trying a lot of things with the modules on my MagicMirror. Every time I change something in the config.js or in the custom.css I do a

      pm2 restart mm
      

      Unfortunately on a Pi3 this takes some time. I would say about half a minute until everything is reloaded again.
      Isn’t there a faster way to do this. I mean, this is running in electron, isn’t there a way to only “refresh” the page in electron, or reloading modules, or is all this not sufficient?

          Control + R is much faster than restart mm

              Thanks!
              I’ve always used SSH, but for that case I’ll connect a keyboard.
              Thinking about working on the mirror alltogether.
              If someone knows a shortcut to open the terminal in the front I’d also appreciate it!
