Yes. As you found out, the window just above the quickfix window is used to open a selected file. The 'switchbuf' option can be used to control which windows/buffers are used by the quickfix jump commands. It currently doesn't have a 'useprev' option to use the previous window. - Yegappan -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
