Allow autochdir

[soli]

Would it be possible to save &autochdir, unset it while Dirvish does its thing and restore it afterwards, with the rest of the "state" ?

[soli]

P.S. I do agree, of course, to be the guinea pig if one is needed ^^

Sorry, had set autochdir in my vimrc, preventing Dirvish from working. Guesss these would be a nice feature, haha. Side note, would be great if some more docs on using Dirvish were included.

@bobmonteverde more docs in addition to https://github.com/justinmk/vim-dirvish/blob/master/doc/dirvish.txt ?

I do plan to add support for 'autochdir', though it's not high priority.

@soli: I tried that, but it's not so simple. I think because there are multiple places where dirvish "does it's thing?"

I messed around with this for a bit and made idbrii/vim-dirvish/autochdir-workaround (see above). It's probably not pull-request worthy, but might be a starting point.

[justinmk]

@idbrii Thanks for looking at that. If s:set_altbuf is the main issue, then on Vim versions where @# is writable, are there any other problems?

[soli]

Thanks @idbrii I'll have a look!

[idbrii]

s:set_altbuf is the main issue for my workaround, but there seem to be more problems with autochdir. I only tested it enough to see that it was still broken.

You can use autocmd command to change current working directory, and I've tested that it has no conflicts with vim-dirvish.

set noautochdir
augroup auto_ch_dir
    autocmd!
    autocmd BufEnter * silent! lcd %:p:h
augroup END

This conflicts when using Shdo since its changes the directory.

A fix for Shdo would be adding cd dir-path command at the top of the generated script. You may add it manually every time, or change vim-dirvish/autoload/dirvish.vim

function! dirvish#shdo(paths, cmd) abort
  …
  endfor
  call insert(lines, 'cd '.shellescape(dir))   " ++
  execute 'silent split' tmpfile '|' (2==exists(':lcd')?('lcd '.dir):'')
  …

[idbrii]

That reminds me to send PR #200!

It a different fix for shdo: write the cd command into the script. I often go off and do other things between :Shdo and running the script, so I don't want the script to rely on vim's cwd.
