I looked into implementing this option. Currently each line in the
quickfix buffer has three columns (filename, line/column/error type
information and error message). To align these columns, we can support
the following format for this option:
set qfline=20,10
where, the first number specifies the width of the first column and the
second number specifies the width of the second column and the rest of
the line will be used for the third column. The values within the
columns will be right-aligned. So if a long filename is used, only the
rightmost characters in the filename will be displayed.
Any comments/suggestions on this?
I also considered supporting a more generic printf like format for this
option:
set qfline=%20f,%10l,%10m
where the fields are optional and additional fields from the quickfix
entry can be used. I am not sure whether this level of flexibility
is needed for this option.
Thanks,
Yegappan
