How do I open the tree with the file in the current buffer selected/highlighted?

[githorse]

In LunarVim, when I toggle the tree, it opens with the file in the current buffer selected/highlighted. I guess that's not built-in to NvimTree though, since it doesn't seem to happen in the Clean Room. (It's not the path argument to :NvimTree{Open,Toggle}; that changes the root of the tree, which isn't what I want.)

This may duplicate #1929. From reading between the lines on that issue, though, it kind of sounds like NvimTree is supposed to be doing what I want out of the box? Maybe I'm missing something here.

How do I open NvimTree to the file in the current buffer?

:h nvim-tree-opts-update-focused-file

I don't seem to have that help option (E149, sorry, no help for nvim-tree-opts-update-focused-file), but I found it from the top-level NvimTree help. That's definitely the droid I'm looking for! Added this to my setup:

require("nvim-tree").setup {
  ...other_stuff,
  update_focused_file = {
    enable = true
  }
}

and it works as expected now.
