One problem I've found with using the quickfix window is that when it is open, the quickfix list traversal commands :cn, :cp, etc., no longer display "(n of m)" in the command line.
To work around that problem, I set a 'statusline' in my ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/qf.vim which is the same as the value set in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/qf.vim but with the addition of " (%l\ of\ %L)" at the start of this line. setlocal stl=%t\ (%l\ of\ %L)%{exists('w:quickfix_title')?\ '\ '.w:quickfix_title\ :\ ''}\ %=%-15(%l,%c%V%)\ %P If others agree that this is generally useful and doesn't take too much room on the status line (I typically run Vim in a 208-column window), I propose that this change be made to the standard qf.vim.
