QuickFix notes

QuickFix
--------

Overview:
rational: Vim has a lot of great ways to navigate a project. But if your computer already knows where the problem is, we should be able to jump straight there without searching again.

:help quickfix

Supports "edit-compile-edit"
Inspired by an Amega compiler

+quickfix flag:
       $	vim --version | grep quickfix

Useful any time you need a list of locations in your document
internal:
	* :vimgrep
	* :make
plugins:
	* :Ggrep (fugitive)
	* :Ack
	* :Rake

:make
-----

Two types of lists:
error window
location list

* demonstrate make

:cw opens the error list
:col opens the previous one
:cnew opens the next one

jump to an error's location with <Enter>

location lists are associated with a window, quickfix is vim instance wide.
:lolder (lol)
:lnewer

like lcd vs cd.

custom makeprg of % can be handy to execute the current buffer
