Keep current PWD updated accross all buffers when changing directory in nvim-tree
ivankovnatsky opened this issue · comments
I came from NERDTree and if I miss something, please navigate me to setup this.
- when i do
C-]
the pwd in nvim-tree changes to what directory i entered - i open a file from the tree, check the
!pwd
-- as expected - go back to the tree and move up the hierarchy and choose another dir to enter
- go back to a file/buffer from another dir, the pwd is the same as in 2., not as in 3. as i would want
Can I configure nvim-tree in a such a way to control pwd in nvim-tree for all the buffers?
I see that if I open a buffer and open a new one, the pwd does get updated as expected. Do we need/want to sync pwd regardless of old buffer or new one?
I think that when you change directory within nvim-tree the global directory should also change. I usually first open a file, then, if I need so, I open nvim-tree to open some related files, maybe I cd into the repository root. new opened files have the "correct" cwd according to nvim-tree cwd, but the already opened one(s) retain their original cwd as local and I'd need to close and reopen. I find the way nvim-tree handles global/local cwd very frustrating and no options combination seems to work.
update_cwd
should happen only oncd
(Dirchanged global ...
) notlcd
cd
nvim-tree callback should execute:cd
- a new
lcd
callback would be useful to change nvim-tree root locally, so global (other buffers') cwd is not updated - nvim-tree should never set the local cwd of a buffer, only manage the global cwd and its own local cwd
NvimTreeFindFile
should always show the file, if the file is under the current root of nvim-tree then folds will be opened recursively, otherwise the local cwd of nvim-tree is changed to the one containing the file and no other buffers will be affected.
