Open File Picker in current directory of open buffer

[jakDev003]

I think this feature would be very useful if possible. In Telescope File Browser I can set a keymap to open the file picker in the path of the currently open buffer.

I do not see that option currently:

Here is the github for the Telescope File Picker
https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-file-browser.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

I can set this keymap:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<space>fb", ":Telescope file_browser path=%:p:h select_buffer=true<CR>")

there is a command for this it's file_picker_in_current_buffer_directory

[jakDev003]

but what would be the key sequence to get the directory of the current buffer and open the file picker in that directory

It is not bound by default.

[jakDev003]

Right so your telling me I would need to bind it but there is no documentation that I am aware of to tell me how I would to bind to some custom OS level command (like some bash script to find the current directory of the open buffer or something) I just see the ability to bind to premade functions like this https://docs.helix-editor.com/remapping.html

These all look like prebuilt helix internal commands

[kirawi]

Yes, file_picker_in_current_buffer_directory is a built-in command

[jakDev003]

oh I missed the 'buffer' part I thought you were refering me to the command in the docs I will try that thank you

The colon is only if you are using typeable commands (e.g. :wq). It should work if you remove it
