Can I set visidata to auto reload the file?

[ariel-frischer]

Is this doable? Whenever the file changes externally or I guess on a timer?

Take a look at this thread: #683

Yup! The reload-every command is also in vdplus.

This solution works good, but demands that we call watch-sheet on startup. Is there a way to enable it by default in the .visidatarc ?

You can record a series of commands to be carried out on startup. Do the commands you want manually, then press Ctrl+D (save-cmdlog) and save them to a .vdj command logfile.

Quit visidata and rerun it with -p to replay the command log: vd data.tsv -p reloader_cmdlog.vdj
