There are two ways I can think of. The simplest is to start a second instance of vim for code-browsing while waiting for :make in the first instance to complete. If you don't want to open a second terminal, you can run both instances of vim within screen. Screen can even notify you when the :make is done (by notifying you when the window in which the :make is running has gone quiet for 30 seconds). The other way is to run make in the background and redirect its output to a file. When it's done, read that file into your quickfix buffer with a command such as :cf. See :help :cf Regards, Gary --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
