Yes, sorry I didn't reread the upthread.

However my point is that ":exe 'cd' getcwd()" is NOT a no-operation if
the current window is under the effect of :lcd. Example:

- current directory is /foo
- open 2 windows

window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, cd is /foo, no lcd

- in window 2, do :lcd /bar

window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, lcd is /bar

- still in window 2, do :exe 'cd' getcwd()

window 1, cd is /bar, no lcd
window 2, cd is /bar, no lcd

(current directory for window 1 has changed).

OTOH ":lcd ." is not a no-operation if the current window is not yet
under :lcd, because it uncouples this window's lcd from the global setting:

window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, cd is /foo, no lcd

:cd /bar

window 1, cd is /bar, no lcd
window 2, cd is /bar, no lcd

(both change). ":lcd ." in window 2

window 1, cd is /bar, no lcd
window 2, lcd is /bar

then :cd /foo in window 1

window 1, cd is /foo, no lcd
window 2, lcd is still /bar

if we hadn't done :lcd . in window 2, its current dir would now be /foo

Best regards,
Tony.
