Please provide a standard way to locate project root directory. Many famous plugins (including: CtrlP, LeaderF, Fzf, YouCompleteMe, Gutentags, ALE)
require to identify the project root of current file. And they don't have standard to follow, So, some of plugins take current directory as project root, some of them take the nearest ancestor directory containing .git or .svn as the project root. some of them seek the nearest Makefile / CMakeList.txt ... what a mess ? And most of them have project-wide configurations like: 1. ALE: project-wide linting configurations. 2. YouCompleteMe: ycm_extra_conf.py, used to generate clang compiling flags (include dir, ...) for sources 3. vim-clang: compile_commands.json 4. local_vimrc: _vimrc_local.vim 5. gutentags: gtags / ctags parameter config file. These config files pollute my source tree. and can easily get committed to svn/git by accident. Consider supporting vscode's `.vscode` folder ? it can be used to locate project root (nearest parent dir containing .vscode). And can be used to store many project-wide configs. Or with a different name like `.vim` ?? benefits: 1. all plugins can have a standard to locate project. 2. all plugins can have a place to store project-wide configs. 3. possible for plugins to share information and collaborate together. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
