space + F show entire workspace files

[noor-tg]

Summary

when I click space+F the filepicker show the workspace directory (git project). not only current working directory files.
and when I try to check the CWD from commands even when I opened file in sub directories. it shows the workspace directory (project root with git repo).

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx in project with git repo
2. I opened file in plans/subproject/file.md
3. when I tried to list CWD files subproject directory by click space+F

I expected to see only files in the subproject directory.

Instead, I saw all the root project files.

This is the expected behavior: hx in the root of the repo sets the CWD to the root of the repo. You can check the CWD with :pwd and use hx plans/subproject or :cd plans/subproject to change the CWD to some other directory.

Opening a document doesn't automatically change the CWD. #2056 covers that behavior.

yes . using :cd plans/sub worked. but is there any way to change cwdbased on current active buffer ?

but is there any way to change cwd based on current active buffer ?

That's what #2056 covers
