Hi, I disliked the emacs behaviour where the current directory would always be the one containing the current file. So I wrote a bit of elisp to change it, named according to the equivalent setting in Vim. It actually leaves the emacs behaviour unchanged for compatibility with vanilla Emacs packages, and instead redirects evil to work with a different variable for the current directory. I originally had something that controlled the emacs default-directory variable instead, but the current approach gives a smoother experience. I'd love to hear your feedback. The repo can be found at https://github.com/gbarta/evil-noautochdir I think it would be great to have this as part of Evil, but I am not sure if anyone else is interested in this aspect of compatibility with Vim. If you are, let me know!
