How can I run an external command and then run a Helix command when the external command exits?

[David-Else]

I have this shortcut:

l   = ":sh kitty @ launch --no-response --cwd=current --type=overlay --copy-env lazygit"

but I need to run reload-all after it exits to update git gutters and git branch on the statusline.

I can't run the following because apparently :sh is async and reload-all is run right after the shell command is started:

[keys.normal.C-t]
l = [ ":sh kitty @ launch --no-response --cwd=current --type=overlay --copy-env lazygit", ":reload-all" ]

Can I somehow use a macro keybinding to overcome this problem, or some other cleverness I have not considered? insert-output does not work in my terminal Kitty.

Thanks!

I'm hitting the same issue trying to run pre-commit on the current file and reload after. I didn't realize :sh was asynchronous, but that explains why this doesn't work:

[keys.normal.","]
p = [
  ":update",
  ":run-shell-command pre-commit run --show-diff-on-failure --files '%{buffer_name}'",
  ":reload",
]
