Is there any reason to reset the pointer each time? I think that it is more reasonable to leave the pointer as it when adding to the list so it’d be possible to work with the list and adding new items to it when they’re available without losing the context. What I’m trying to do is to start a job that will search in a large code base and to be able to work with the available results as they appear. I don’t want to wait for the entire search to complete. Now, when trying to call setqflist(…, ‘a’) from the job’s callback I can’t really work with the results that already arrived. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
