Is it possible to select a directory to be neovim cwd within vifm?

No, but it probably won't be hard to add.

Sorry for the really late reply @xaizek .
I was wondering how this can be approached? I thought of 2 functions and I am not sure if this can already be achieved in some way other than vifm or default netrw has something built in for this:

• Function 1: Setting directory of the currently opened buffer as the cwd.
• Function 2: Choosing the last opened directory in the file tree as the cwd. (https://wiki.vifm.info/index.php/How_to_set_shell_working_directory_after_leaving_Vifm may be using this option --choose-dir and passing this on to the editor?)

Yes, need to use result of --choose-dir, specifically feed it into :cd or :lcd. The catch though is that plugin's code is a mess. Code-wise:

1. In s:StartVifm and s:HandleRunResults.
2. Need to check cd for editcmd parameter and upon detection, pass --choose-dir instead of --choose-files.
3. s:HandleRunResults should do exec cd <path> after checking that there is only one path.
