Looking at the code for compilation-minor-mode (as I'm inexperienced with
it), I see no connection with what I suggested. That mode appears to work
only in buffers that can be parsed to work with next-error etc.
What I suggested was a simple command to pick up a numeral from any buffer,
regardless of what the numeral might mean in that buffer. It would be
rudimentary, but would do at least what people are doing with `goto-line',
without requiring them to key in the line number. A minor suggestion -
that's all.
Is this what you have in mind?
(defun goto-line-at-point (&optional buffer)
"Go to the line whose number is given at point, counting like \
\\[goto-line].
With a prefix arg, prompt for a BUFFER and select it before moving."
(interactive (list (if current-prefix-arg
(read-buffer "Goto buffer: "
(other-buffer (current-buffer) t)
t))))
(when buffer
(pop-to-buffer buffer))
(goto-line (number-at-point)))
If so, maybe a mouse- version would be useful, too.
