Search in currect directory, not root of project

[bdillahu]

I’m sorry if this is obvious, but I’ve used vi/vim/neovim for 30+ years and typing :n filename to change to a different file is ingrained… with the MiniMax configuration, it offers up file completion that is based on the root of the project (git repository in my case) - is there some way to change it to be current directory?

Thanks!

MiniMisc.setup_auto_root() is responsible i think. So, removing it should restore the default behavior.

@bdillahu, I believe this is the answer here. There is a call to MiniMisc.setup_auto_root(), which automatically adjusts Neovim's working directory to be a project root. So in a sense, :n <filename> does search it in the current directory.

Could you please check if removing setup_auto_root() makes it work as you expect?

Auto-root type functionality was one of the first things I added when started my Neovim journey and I can not imagine using Neovim without it. In particular, because it makes it very ergonomic working with files from different projects.

Thank you both so much! I've spent too much time trying to figure that out when it was right there in front of me :-)

I'm sure the "auto-root" stuff works great for most people... I think it's just an "old dog, new trick" problem for me.

Thanks again! @IronGreninja and @echasnovski
