The Vim plugin uses :lcd to push/pod dirs, but should rather use the most appropriate cd command (let cd = haslocaldir() ? 'lcd' : (exists(':tcd') == 2 && haslocaldir(-1, 0)) ? 'tcd' : 'cd').
Therefore the window where fzf has been used with gets a local dir (haslocaldir()).

Any thoughts on this, otherwise I might provide a PR which remembers the prev dir together with the command being used (and use that also for popping).

I see, but I'm not sure what the issue is. What problem do you have when it's set? Also, haslocaldir in Vim 7.4 does not take arguments, so I don't want to use it that way.

I am using only haslocaldir() with Vim in the PR.

The problem is that :lcd is meant to be special, and that I normally have a global or tab-local working dir. If a local window dir is set, this will not adjust.
When saving views (e.g. via vim-stay) you have to put additional workarounds in place to not store this (zhimsel/vim-stay#10).
