title: Reload .Xresources without restarting the xterm
body: <p>To use ALT key in vim without tweaking, the escaping should be disabled in xterm.
  Without escaping the ALT will not work in bash for shortcuts. </p>
  
  <p>to work around I need to reload this option before starting vim:</p>
  
  <pre><code>XTerm*metaSendsEscape: false | xrdb -load 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea how I can reload .Xresource and make changes take effect without restarting the terminal window ?<br>
  Open to other terminal to have ALT work both in vim and bash.</p>
