Open file relative to active file

[michaelin]

Hi,
It would be nice if I could open files relative to the currently active file. I regularly work with projects that are 5+ folders deep. Having to start navigation from the project root every time is a hazzle.

Example:
The project root is at /somedir/root, and I have the file /somedir/root/level1/level2/level3/myfile.py open. I'd like to open the file <project root>/level1/level2/level3_2/myotherfile.py.

Current process:

• ctrl+o opens the navigation at /somedir/root/
• Enter /level1/level2/level3_2/myotherfile.py to open the file.

Suggested addition:

• ctrl+shift+o opens the navigation at /somedir/root/level1/level2/level3/
• Enter ../level3_2/myotherfile.py to open the file.

Thanks for a great plugin. The auto completion features are excellent.

Hey, sorry for late response.

You can actually already do this, but it was turned off by default (I forget why I did that...)

This is now the default behaviour in the most recent version (or should be) you can change it in the settings. (i.e. the default path is the path of the current file)

Glad you like the plugin!
