When I launch gVim without arguments  I want it to open in my  project  directory  so that I can do  find etc   However  when I launch it with files  I don t want it to switch directory  I want it to stay right there  in part  so that it opens the file I want it to open     if argc      0    cd  PROJECT DIR endif   So that I can use  find from any file in the current project  I set up my path to look up the directory tree  til it finds src or scripts and descends into those  at least until it hits c  work which is the root of all of my projects   This allows me to open files in a project that is not current  i e  PROJECT DIR above specifies a different directory    set path  src    c  work scripts    c  work   So that I get automatic saving and reloading  and exiting of insert mode when gVim loses focus  as well as automatic checkout from Perforce when editing a readonly file     augroup AutoSaveGroup     autocmd      autocmd FocusLost         cpp   h   cs   rad  Jam    py   bat   mel    wa     autocmd FileChangedRO     cpp   h   cs   rad  Jam    py   bat   mel    silent  p4 edit   p     autocmd FileChangedRO     cpp   h   cs   rad  Jam    py   bat   mel    w  augroup END  augroup OutOfInsert     autocmd      autocmd FocusLost   call feedkeys    lt C-  gt   lt C-N gt    augroup END   And finally  switch to the directory of the file in the current buffer so that it s easy to  e other files in that directory   augroup MiscellaneousTomStuff     autocmd        make up for the deficiencies in  autochdir      autocmd BufEnter   silent  lcd   p h gs        augroup END

Someone  viz  Frew  who posted above had this line    Automatically cd into the directory that the file is in    autocmd BufEnter   execute  chdir   escape expand    p h           I was doing something like that myself until I discovered the same thing could be accomplished with a built in setting   set autochdir   I think something similar has happened to me a few different times   Vim has so many different built-in settings and options that it s sometimes quicker and easier to roll-your-own than search the docs for the built-in way to do it

My 242-line  vimrc is not that interesting  but since nobody mentioned it  I felt like I must share the two most important mappings that have enhanced my workflow besides the default mappings   map  lt C-j gt   bprev lt CR gt  map  lt C-k gt   bnext lt CR gt  set hidden   this will go along   Seriously  switching buffers is the thing to do very often  Windows  sure  but everything doesn t fit the screen so nicely   Similar set of maps for quick browsing of errors  see quickfix  and grep results   map  lt C-n gt   cn lt CR gt  map  lt C-m gt   cp lt CR gt    Simple  effortless and efficient
