LunarVim uses project.nvim to set your working directory. If you want to disable automatic switching of the working directory to the project root, add this to your config:

lvim.builtin.project.manual_mode = true

That will leave your working directory intact. The working directory will be the one from which you launched lunarvim.

Then, if you want project.nvim to detect your project root you can do so with the :ProjectRoot command.

To disable project.nvim altogether:

lvim.builtin.project.active = false

If you want to set the cwd programmatically yourself, you can read the help docs with :help nvim_set_current_dir to do so with lua. (vim.api.nvim_set_current_dir)

Or you can follow the instructions here to set the directory with vimscript
