i'd recommend installing https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile, which fzf will detect and use the correct project directory.
I had the same issue. I got around it by customizing the fzf/directory-start
variable to "~"
and use fzf-directory
, so it always starts from my home folder. Also, I modified this func
(defun fzf-directory ()
"Starts a fzf session at the specified directory."
(interactive)
(fzf/start (ido-read-directory-name "Directory: " fzf/directory-start)))
to
(defun fzf-directory ()
"Starts a fzf session at the specified directory."
(interactive)
(fzf/start fzf/directory-start))
so it doesn't prompt me for a folder every time.
I'm curious how fzf
managed to narrow down to its previous found folder, I don't know too much elisp, I guess it's the default-directory
variable that is constantly get updated every time fzf()
is called? But even if I comment out these
(with-current-buffer buf
(setq default-directory directory))
it still narrows down to the last visited folder.
If I use M-x fzf to find a file and I open it, my working directory is changed to the folder of the opened file. This means that when I later want to use fzf again, the search is very limited. Is there a setting to disable this?
