feature: Automatically reload config when change in any files is detected

[Rizhiy]

Did you check the docs?

• I have read all the LazyVim docs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Whenever I make a change to my configuration, I have to restart my whole neovim to see if it works right.

Describe the solution you'd like

If a file inside nvim directory is changed, lazyvim should reload configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I tried to make a keybinding to reload config manually, but couldn't manage to get it to work.
With vimscript I could just do :source $MYVIMRC<CR>, but with lua there appears to be some caching going on, so it is not as simple. Therefore, I think it would be a good addition to put it as autocommand.

This is already tracked in the lazy.nvim repo

@folke Then it is not working. For example, I add the following to my keymaps.lua:

local function map(mode, lhs, rhs, opts)
  local keys = require("lazy.core.handler").handlers.keys
  ---@cast keys LazyKeysHandler
  -- do not create the keymap if a lazy keys handler exists
  if not keys.active[keys.parse({ lhs, mode = mode }).id] then
    opts = opts or {}
    opts.silent = opts.silent ~= false
    vim.keymap.set(mode, lhs, rhs, opts)
  end
end

-- Splits
map("n", "<leader>v", "<C-W>v", { desc = "Split veritcally" })

The keybinding doesn't work, until I restart.

I didn't say it was implemented yet. It's tracked in folke/lazy.nvim#445

Ok, I thought you meant that changes are already tracked.
