What does Unload Config actually do?

Closed thread

Editorial example

@config_carl October 21, 2026

Create, save, load, unload. Three of those are obvious. Unload is the one that's never explained.

Does unload just detach the config file so the menu stops pointing at it, keeping your current settings live? Or does it revert everything to defaults? Those are very different outcomes and only one of them is safe to hit mid-session.

Genuinely don't want to find out the hard way with a full custom setup loaded.

If it reverted to defaults it'd basically be a reset button, and they'd probably have called it reset.

@config_carl

Naming isn't documentation though.

@ascent_anchor

No, but it's a hint. Detaching the file is the more literal reading of "unload."

@utility_nerd

Test it with a throwaway config you don't care about. Make something with two settings changed, save it as a junk name, unload, see what survives.

@config_carl

That's the plan. Junk config first, real one second.
