#DoomEmacs geeks. I need help. How do i configure it such that :edit always assumes the current working directory is the repo root not the directory of the file in the current buffer? I really miss that behavior from #Vim.
@masukomi I usually call project- oriented variations of common functions, like find- file, etc. in #emacs. These are on my leader, under SPC p
This works for me, because I sometimes want a file next to another, instead of starting from the top of the repo. But if you know a little Lisp, You could write a function, that sets the default-directory variable, and then advise some functions to call yours before it runs.
Let me know if that is enough information to get you started, otherwise when I get to my computer, I can give you a prototype to work with.
@howard I think i do the same. I usually use project-file-find (Space p f for me) BUT hidden directories are ignored so .github/workflow/ci.yml (for example) won't show up so i need to use :edit (or whatever emac's default equivalent is)
