How do I tell IntelliJ IdeaVim to re-source the .ideavimrc

I made some changes to my .ideavimrc and I want IntelliJ IdeaVim to reload the file. I can obviously close and reopen IntelliJ, but that sucks.

How can I re-source my .ideavimrc without restarting IntelliJ?

In Intellij's code editor window while in command mode, type a colon, that opens up a mini bar at the bottom. Then type

:source ~/.ideavimrc
