i like autochdir so that i can easily rename files and :E stuff where

opened in and the pwd of another set of commands the pwd of the file
of the current buffer?
What about not using 'autochdir' but
:lcd %:h
that's not a bad solution. is there a way of getting the directory
where i opened vim back? so, basically some way of toggling between
the path of the file and the path i opened vim in? i could map it to
an f-key and be fine with that...
Hm... I thought there was a way to unset the lcd (like there are ways to
set a local option back to the global setting, or any option to the Vi
or Vim default), but I can't find it in the help. So here's a
workaround, to be added to your vimrc
either (F5 to toggle)
let <SID>curdir = getcwd()
map <F5> :if getcwd() == <SID>curdir <Bar> lcd %:h <Bar> else <Bar> exe
'lcd' <SID>curdir <Bar> endif<CR>
or (F5 to set, Shift-F5 to clear)
let <SID>curdir = getcwd()
map <F5> :lcd %:h<CR>
map <S-F5> :exe 'lcd' <SID>curdir<CR>
Note that :lcd %:h while "editing a directory" with netrw will set the
current directory to the _parent_ of the directory being displayed. Use
:lcd % (which doesn't work when editing a file) to set it to that
directory itself.
Best regards,
Tony.
