Im confused when opening multiple projects in multiple tabs with helix, in each of them I switched directories and just confused as file picker doesn't give information of the current root directory, nor file-name config as it started from right under that workspace/working directory.
The rules:
When we open helix on a file, it behave just like the original, the workspace is the current pwd.
When we open helix on a directory:
if the directory contains .git, the status line will print the base of that directory.
e.g: hx /Users/theuser/projects/project-a, status line will print project-a as it contains .git(workspace)
if the directory contains no .git, the status line will print closest parent dirs with .git, followed by paths till the directory(pwd)
e.g. hx /Users/theuser/projects/project-a/sub1/sub2/, status line will print project-a/sub1/sub2, so the most left is workspace(space-f), most right is the pwd(space-F).
When we cd to upper directories, workspace status will update to that directory whether it contains .git or not
When we cd to lower directory
if it contains .git, update the workspace status to that directory.
if it contains no .git, append the new working directories after workspace.
Append only happen when transitioning from upper workspace directories to lower non-workspace directories.
It's good to combine it with file-name config, as it shows paths right under current workspace/working directory.

Helix has workspace(space-f) and working directory(space-F).
It's good to show those information in status line so we're aware of where we're at, at what workspace(.git) and working directory.
This how it should looks like in status line:
workspace-base-dir/working-directory/sub-working-directory
