With vim, how can I use autocmd's for files in subdirectories of a specific path?
- by René Nyffenegger
I am trying to figure out how I can define an autocmd that influences all files under a specific path.
The autocmd I have tried is something like
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead /specificPath/** imap <buffer> ....
Now, I'd expect this autocmd to be used if I edited, say, /foo/bar/specificPath/baz/something/bla.txt, but not if I edited /foo/bar/here/and/there/moreBla.txt
If I start vim being in a directory 'above' specificPath, this works as I want it. But it doesn't if I am below that directory. Obviously, the autocmd's pattern is matched against the relative file name, not the absolute one.
