NETRW BROWSING AND OPTION INCOMPATIBILITIES *netrw-incompatible* {{{2
Netrw has been designed to handle user options by saving them, setting
the
options to something that's compatible with netrw's needs, and then
restoring
them. However, the autochdir option: >
:set acd
is problematical. Autochdir sets the current directory to that
containing the
file you edit; this apparently also applies to directories. In other
words,
autochdir sets the current directory to that containing the
"file" (even if
that "file" is itself a directory).
(end help entry)
I have had :set autochdir in my .vimrc for a few years now and have
not noticed any problems with netrw. Granted, I don't use netrw for
any remote editing, just for local directory browsing (and not even
that very often). Is this :help section still accurate? I thought
issues with 'acd' have been resolved? If not, what sort of issues
still exist? A basic "acd will cause problems" statement doesn't give
much information for a user making the decision whether to use the
option or not.
There is, perhaps, an unexpected behavior.
Try running vim, typing (assuming /some/directory exists and directory
is itself a directory)
:e /some/directory
:pwd
You'll find that pwd shows /some , which is apparently unexpected to
some people. I have made considerable efforts to get netrw to work with
acd otherwise.
