| − | The present working directory can be displayed in Vim with: |
||
| − | <pre> |
||
| − | :pwd |
||
| − | </pre> |
||
| − | |||
| − | To change to the directory of the currently opened file: |
||
| − | <pre> |
||
| − | :cd %:h |
||
| − | </pre> |

| − | Here's a mapping to make this easier: |
||
| − | <pre> |
||
| − | nmap <silent> <leader>cd :cd %:p:h<cr> |
||
| − | </pre> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Note the use of <tt>:p</tt> first expand the % to a full path -- it takes care of the case where you're already in the correct directory. If that happens, %:h expands to an empty string and the :cd command throws an error. %:p:h is safe as it will never send an empty directory into the :cd command. |
||

| − | Note that 'autochdir' can be turned on to automatically switch to the directory of the current buffer upon entering the buffer. Alternatively, try: |
||
| − | |||
| − | <pre> |
||
| − | nmap <silent> <leader>sp :sp <c-r>=expand('%:p:h')<cr>/ |
||
| − | </pre> |
||
| − | |||
| − | (The last / can be changed to a backslash if on Windows.) Then, hitting <leader>sp will produce a command-line all set to allow editing of a file in the same directory as the current buffer. |

| − | This is very useful. Personally I have these commands defined: |
||
| − | <pre> |
||
| − | command! CD cd %:p:h |
||
| − | command! LCD lcd %:p:h |
||
| − | </pre> |
