Some time ago there was a push back on adding more functions for the quickfix functionality (as there are already too many quickfix commands/functions). So I am trying to add this to the setqflist() function. Currently setqflist() is used to add or replace an existing quickfix list. It makes sense to extend this function to also support deleting a quickfix list. - Yegappan -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
