How do I set current-directory in Vim to different Volumes, ex. USB drive, in macOS? -


i still new(er) user vim. switch between systems , rely on usb drive assist me. in linux can set default programs vim, can't in mac.

the solution i've found

:set path+=** 

as cross-platform utility w/

:find  

to me files opened in vim. however, since current-directory set current user, have difficulty using full potential.

i have tried "cd" in ~/.vimrc w/ various following scripts

$ cd ~/volume/volumes/usb $ cd ~/volumes/usb  

, etc., no luck. i'm still trying vim in vanilla thru "~/.vimrc" file , not looking plugins or gui-interface. there "cd" can place in macos , linux "~/.vimrc" files set secondary-drive current-directory?

(apologies if answered, not find anywhere.)

the volumes directory not in $home. it's in / have use right path:

cd /volumes/usb 

this scheme specific mac os x, though: if want same behavior on linux have find out how distribution/de it.

anyway, should consider using vim , command-line how supposed used:

$ cd /volumes/usb $ vim somefile
