I'm not questioning the utility of this at all; I use various versions of
this myself. However, I was trying to build something that could be used in
a script, not something I'm using to examine the results from the
command-line.
Since you and Tim took time out to respond, here's a version I use for the
word under the cursor, in case you find a use for it. It prints all lines
that have the word under the cursor with a number before them and then
prompts you for the number, jumping to the specified result:
nmap <F4> [I:let nr = input("Which one? ")<Bar>if nr > 0<bar>execute
"normal " . nr ."[\t"<bar>endif<CR>
If you prefix the last [ with a \<c-w> (inside the quotes), it'll jump to
that line in a new split, instead, retaining your current cursor location.
All the best,
Salman
