I've got some custom functions in my .vimrc related to QuickFix
and Location List windows. They are clunky and inefficient
because as far as I can tell, Vim doesn't expose quite enough
information. I've included the functions below for reference.
I haven't been able to track all of the new developments, but
perhaps someone can say whether there is a better way than the
below functions (either with pre-existing or recently added Vim
functionality). I'd like functions that:
- Return True if a given window is a QuickFix or Location List
window. (Both types of window have &buftype == "quickfix".)
- Return True if the QuickFix is window open.
- Return True if the Location List window is open for a given
window.
- Return the window number of the QuickFix window (0 if not
open).
- Return the window number of the associated Location List
for a given window (0 if not open).
When the current window has ``&buftype == "quickfix"``, I'd
originally tried to determine whether it was a QuickFix window
or a Location List using ``getloclist(0)``. I'd wanted to say
``isLocationList = (getloclist(0) > 0)``, but that fails when
it's a Location List that happens to be empty, so I resorted to
the uglier hacks you see below.
I thought I'd seen some activity along these lines that might
expose the details directly, but I haven't been keeping up with
all of the new changes.
