Reload addon

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.

Usage

Select addon from Main window → Reload addon: select addon or configured shortut (default none).
Reload the addon from Main window → Reload <addon name> or configured shortcut (default Ctrl+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.

Configuration

In addon configuration:

Reload shortcut: Shortcut to reload the selected addon
Select shortcut: Shortcut to open select addon dialog
Internal state: Addon internal state, do not edit
