Please try to set `tab-line-cache-key-function` to a function
that is a copy of `tab-line-cache-key-default` but where
at the end there is appended your addition of (format-time-string "%S"):
(setq tab-line-cache-key-function
(lambda (tabs)
(list
tabs
;; handle buffer renames
(buffer-name (window-buffer))
;; handle tab-line scrolling
(window-parameter nil 'tab-line-hscroll)
;; for setting face 'tab-line-tab-current'
(mode-line-window-selected-p)
;; for `tab-line-tab-face-modified'
(and (memq 'tab-line-tab-face-modified
tab-line-tab-face-functions)
(buffer-file-name)
(buffer-modified-p))
;; Added key:
(format-time-string "%S"))))
This will clear the cache every time when (format-time-string "%S")
changes, i.e. every second.
If this works, please suggest where would you expect to find this information.
Should the documentation be updated for 'tab-line-tab-name-function'?
