make telescope <leader>. open dir of currently active file

[molleweide]

Does this make sense?

I think that it would be nice if telescope Browse Files would open the dir of currently active file and not the root dir where vim was started. I haven't had time to look into telescope configs yet. I'll close after I have time to test this.

Hey, yeah it does for me. We will need to take a look at telescope source to look if there's an option for this or if we will need to do it from scratch. Hope there's an option so we'll be able to add this feature sooner :)

I am going to see if I can add telescope-z into doom also later for faster CWD switching

[osamuaoki]

Telescope has this opts.cwd = opts.cwd and vim.fn.expand(opts.cwd) or vim.loop.cwd() at the start.

So directory of current buffer: expand('%:p:h') Then set opts.cwd to it?

Maybe original opts.cwd needs to be retained?

[osamuaoki]

I think I got a working prototype.

If you are using main branch, files are a bit different. I think this helps.

I think original behavior also have some value.

NTBBloodbath: How do you want this to be included? Replace <leader>ff or add another binding? I think latter may be more desirable. If you tell me the choices for keybinding and word to describe this, I think I can create PR.

Woops my bad, don't know how I did miss this. I think we could add a new keybind with a description like "Find files in current project", yeah this makes sense. Maybe under the <leader>f section too.
