In MacVim autochdir works without a problem. However, lately I’ve been running iTerm2 (full screen with split) for coding and the lack of autochdir is really bothering me. Any solutions? Thanks.

    What do you mean by “the lack of autochdir“? It works fine both in CLI and in GUI.

    If you have set autochdir in your ~/.vimrc this feature will work the same way whether you are in MacVim or iTerm2 or Terminal or whatever.

    But I suspect you are changing dirs in an iTerm2 split and expecting Vim to somehow learn about that change and change its pwd accordingly. Am I right? “Unfortunately” Vim doesn’t know about the second iTerm2 split and can’t react to your cd there.
