Hello:

Is there a way to open a file relative to the current file's
directory?

I do not want to change the directory to the current file's directory
because I often invoke :!make from the source directory's root. (But
maybe there is a way to change to the current directory, and go back
to the root directory before invoking main... that would be equally
useful to me).

For example, I am in project/ and I invoke:

vim lib/tools/tool1.cpp

I don't want to change my directory to project/lib/tools/ because when
I invoke :!make, it will use the Makefile in project/lib/tools/ and
not the one that I intend to use, which lies in project/. I am wanting
to know whether I can easily open up project/lib/tools/tool2.cpp
without typing in the entire path.

Regards,
