Change search path while in Files

[dapc11]

Hello, thanks for a great plugin.

I've skimmed through the issue tracker and discussions, but can't find a topic that covers my question. Is there a way to change the cwd in an active session of Files?

:FzfLua files cwd=… or :lua require'fzf-lua'.files({ cwd = … }).

Sorry for being unclear. So I have already a "files" picker up and running. But realize that the file I'm after is located in the parent directory. So what I'm after is to be able to navigate the path within the file picker.

You’d have to build that functionality yourself to go up one level in the tree by calling files again with the parent dir (using the actions table to bind it to a key of your choosing).

Maybe this is what you’re after?

Will try to compile something myself, for my learnings sake. Thanks for the pointers and quick answers!
