Update CWD on file manager close about fm-nvim

[jakobkhansen]

Great, I went with that idea and it worked! If anyone wants to do something similar, this is what I ended up with:

on_close = {
  function()
            local file = io.open("/tmp/ranger_dir", "r")
  
            io.input(file)
  
  
            local dir = io.read()
            command('cd ' .. dir)
  end,
},

and a mapping to this command (Ranger):

<CMD>Ranger --choosedir="/tmp/ranger_dir"<CR>

You can actually do this with a vim setting called autochdir. You can set this by using the following in your init.lua...

vim.opt.autochdir = true

Is this what you had in mind?

I more had in mind that I would like to be able to navigate to the root of a project, exit the file manager (without opening a file) and have cwd be in the directory that I left the file manager. I usually like to navigate to a project root (with something like this plugin), and then use a fuzzy-finder to open some file from there.

Sorry for the late response but after the latest commit, you might be able to do this.

The latest commit allows you to run functions upon exiting the floating window. This can be seen on the README.

If you were using Lf for example, you could change the command to use -last-dir-path which would write the file manager's last directory path to a specified file. Then using on_close and your function, you could read that file and then cd there.

The code would be something like...

local function updateCWD()
	-- some code that checks /tmp/cwd
end

require('fm-nvim').setup{
	cmds = {
		lf_cmd = "lf -last-dir-path /tmp/cwd"
	}
	on_close = { updateCWD }
}

I think the issue should be resolved but please LMK if there's anything missing :)
