Vim directories and path

Updated: 01 March 2025

Current Directory is where vim was started, :pwd and :cd apply. “Directory of current file” could be different to Current Directory.
When setting the path . and ,, refer to the current directory and directory of current file.
Vim supports per tab working directories.
Neovim supports per tab working directories.
LazyVim, with no modifications, does not support per tab working directories.
