[question] How to keep `cwd` at project root? about telescope-file-browser.nvim HOT 3 CLOSED

There's nothing inside telescope core or this extension that will change the cwd without explicitly doing so (such as the change_cwd action).

I suspect there's something in your personal config that is managing this. Maybe some personal autocmd or some sort of project management type plugin that's using Makefile existence for a reason to change the cwd.

Hmm yeah that's what I assumed at first. But the only thing I think could be responsible is the language server (clangd). But I checked the ls client's root on files inside folders with a Makefile and it seemed to be set correctly to the project's root.

I'll have to check that again.

In any case I did side step the issue by renaming all inner Makefiles to something else and now it's working as expected.

I don't think it's the language server. There's nothing in the LSP spec for automatically changing cwd.
Just to make sure, I tried replicating this and I can't (with or without clangd).
