I use quickfix with the following tools everyday: 1. Make 2. Grep 3. GNU id-utils 4. Cscope 5. Static analysis 6. Single file compilation 7. Stack trace It is a huge productivity improving feature in Vim. You can use the commands described in the quickfix help to parse the output from any external tool. You can also use the plugins available at the Vim online website to interact with various external tools. - Yegappan > On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 12:46 PM, Tim Chase <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> yosi izaq wrote: >>> Very basic question.
