Reloading Lua Plugins

[colematt]

First off, thanks for making this extension. I find it super helpful to be able to quickly see the results of a Lua dissector in development without firing up a separate Wireshark app instance.

Now the question/feature request: Is there a way to reload Lua scripts?

In Wireshark for Mac, this would be Command+Shift+L. I presume for Windows/Linux, Alt+Shift+L is the sequence. Unfortunately, the plugin doesn't respond to that sequence, and I couldn't find any indication that it could reload within the documentation or the config file.

Assuming there is no way to do this currently, how much would I have to sponsor you to add it?

@colematt first of all sorry for late response! I fear the sharkd interface (https://wiki.wireshark.org/sharkd-JSON-RPC-Request-Syntax) doesn't have this feature. But I could add a way to completely "reload" (so restart sharkd, reopen the file). Would this help?
