'c' Reload Template Entities vs Configuration->Settings Reload Template Entities?

Configuration

I am doing alot of work with Template Sensors, and just found out I can reload the YAML using Configuration->Settings->Reload Template Entities to reload the YAML code. That avoids me constantly having to restart Home Assistant, which is GREAT!!!

But I also discovered the recently introduced ‘c’ key that also takes me to a Reload Template Entities as well. However, the ‘c’ one does not seem to actually reload the YAML, but appears to just reload the values of the sensors. Is that the way it is supposed to work? I like the quickness of the ‘c’ key, but I guess have to go through the regular menu system in order to reload Templates from YAML?

The c key one is configuration->settings->reload. All the c key does is search for items in the UI.

I’ve had this same issue recently, except now neither the c shortcut one nor the menu option reload the templates. To add/update template sensors I have to restart HA entirely, which is obviously a pain; did you ever fix this at all?
