How to configure Far Manager home directory

far-manager

Far is great to work in Windows environment. But only one annoys me: when I do cd ~ in Far console I get into C:\Program Files\Far Manager

How it can be configured ? F9 Options & Google Search didn't provide any information

Best Answer

Admittedly, I had to peek around the sources to find the answer. Go to Menu (F9) → Options → Command line settings and change the Use home dir setting to your liking. The default setting is %FARHOME%, which is far's home directory. So, for example, if you want behaviour like *nix, where cd ~ changes the directory to the current user's home directory, use %USERPROFILE%.

Disclaimer: This option being more or less undocumented, I don't know if it has any side effects.
