I set the following on my ~/.vimrc which sets the current directory to the location of the file on the buffer.
au BufEnter * silent! :lcd%:p:h
However, when I run the fzf command to search for a file, then the search starts on the current directory, althogh the file I like to get is often in other directories. So I want to set it to ~/ whenever I run fzf.
But I'm not sure if it is possible. Is it possible to set it in fzf?
The following info can be found in the official docs of fzf:
You can execute :FZF with an argument for the starting dir. So you can just run :FZF ~ instead of :FZF. If you open the fzf buffer from a mapping just change that mapping:
map <c-space> :FZF ~<cr>
(Unrelated to the question but related to the autocomand you mentioned: 'autochdir')
