Re: How to set the path of a file as the current directory of gvim on linux automatically when it is opened ?

Thanks Gary， au VimEnter * cd %:h is the exact resolution to my problem.

You didn't say what the problem was for which you are seeking a
resolution, but I assume that you want gvim on Linux to behave as it
does on Windows.  If that's the case, then one solution may be found
here:

   :help autochdir

That will, however, change the current working directory whenever
you open a new file, not just when gvim starts.  You may instead
want to put something like this in your ~/.vimrc:

   au VimEnter * cd %:h

See

   :help autocommand
   :help VimEnter
   :help :cd
   :help filename-modifiers

HTH,
Gary
