window:toast_notification(title, message, [url, [timeout_milliseconds]])

Since: 20210502-154244-3f7122cb

Generates a desktop "toast notification" with the specified title and message.

An optional url parameter can be provided; clicking on the notification will open that URL.

An optional timeout parameter can be provided; if so, it specifies how long the notification will remain prominently displayed in milliseconds. To specify a timeout without specifying a url, set the url parameter to nil. The timeout you specify may not be respected by the system, particularly in X11/Wayland environments.

The notification will persist on screen until dismissed or clicked, or until its timeout duration elapses.

This example will display a notification whenever a window has its configuration reloaded. The notification should remain on-screen for approximately 4 seconds (4000 milliseconds), but may remain longer depending on the system.

It's not an ideal implementation because there may be multiple windows and thus multiple notifications:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

wezterm.on("window-config-reloaded", function(window, pane)
  window:toast_notification("wezterm", "configuration reloaded!", nil, 4000)
end)

return {}
