Yi should be more aware of the current directory #1098

Open juhp opened 5 years ago

juhp commented 5 years ago

Many commands in yi seem to ignore the current directory, which is a surprising the difference to Emacs. Dunno if the expected/tested usage is more project dir based (I always run Emacs from my HOME dir).

For example:

Thankfully find-file does not do this. :)

It looks like I should try running Yi in my project instead.

Yeah the current behaviour seems consistent with vim.

Maybe this is something that should be configurable? For instance I use evil+emacs and would expect dired to go to the current directory. Though even vim keymap users in Yi would expect dired to do that if they used it.
