I don't know your specific case, but you might find simlpistic workaround.
One weird attempt to determine this would be to (I did not do it):
(1) get getcwd() in the window in quiestion
(2) create temp new window with :new
(3) get getcwd() in the new temp window
(4) compare cwd from step (3) against cwd from step(1)
(5) :bw the temp window
This has lots of drawcacks:
- I am not sure this sequence works in the presence of :acd thought.
- I am not sure this sequence works at all, but I can't think of other
method either.
- This sequence won't detect one subtle case: case the :lcd is set, but is set
to directory X where X is same as current directory. (This case behaves
differently that case without :lcd, but this difference might not
matter to you).
I don't think it works. When you use :new, you inherit the :lcd, if
it was used.
Maybe vim needs new functions getlcwd(), hetgcwd(), or additional 2nd
param to getcwd() to return global/local dir.
After looking in the :help todo, it appears that others have requested
it. I've thrown together a quick patch to implement the described
'cdcmd()' (I prefer a more direct 'isdirlocal()'), but that's fine.
I'll try submitting it.
Thank you,
