After seeing the reddit discussion about the Vim advent article on the colder command (https://vimways.org/2018/colder-quickfix-lists/), I was thinking about adding the support for jumping to a particular list in the stack. I don't want to add a new command for this. I am looking for ways to extend one of the existing :colder/:cnewer/:chistory commands to support this. Can we extend the :chistory command to take a list number in the stack? > > My use case / idea is to temporarily switch the lists for :cc/:ll (wrapped > by a command to go to nearest entries according to the cursor position). > For this specific use case it would be best if temporarily switching the > current list would not be necessary in the first place, i.e. it would be > good if :cc / :ll could be called on a non-current list - likely done best > through a new function?! - but maybe also :[id]cc [count] could be used?! > This way plugins could go to next/prev/specific entries from their list, > which must not be the one currently being displayed in the quickfix window. > Currently only the setqflist() and getqflist() functions use the quickfix list identifier. The quickfix commands use only the list number in the stack. Changing this will break backward compatibility. We can add support for changing the current entry in a list using the setqflist() function. - Yegappan -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
