Ultimate Quickfix List Guide

In this video I walk through everything about the quickfix list in Vim / Neovim and how you can jump between items, open and close the list, extract the list to a file and some plugins to begin making it your own.

Let me know if you have any tips / tricks to cover in the next video on quickfix list!

[@code_explorations]

bqf and reflector are exactly what I want to see. unimpaired will be cool too, and mini.bracketed for good measure. Also, location list. I have used vim nonstop since about 1996 and I’ve never dug in properly to the quickfix list because I generally have not used compiled languages, and the barrier to entry was never really worth exploring it to see if there were other uses. This content is perfect for me to get a proper taste of it; thank you. I’ve smashed like and subscribe.

[@ascourter]

@@code_explorations thank you! Definitely going to cover these in future videos!

[@user-cf6co2ok4h]

suppose you have search /solutions and you can use it for later :vim // **/*

[@ascourter]

@@user-cf6co2ok4h Looks like I see it persist using :vim //

[@stoicfloor]

this is an awesome introduction! I use nvim-bqf without knowing the vanilla quickfix first. Thank you!

[@code_explorations]

I’ve watched 22 seconds so far and just want to say: I’m so glad someone is making content like this. More power to your … screen recorder software.

cfdo lovedit

[@SownJevan]

Just what I need. Haven't finished the video but I know it's gonna be a banger, like the telescope one.

[@philsmith774]

This is an excellent video. I've only just found out about quickfix lists and your video explained everything I needed to know.

[@ascourter]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@jocelyn-n-tech]

Great video. Never knew about this.

[@qoobes]

Just discovered the channel, epic content!

[@ascourter]

Thank you!

[@lua5dot1]

cfdo very well presented

[@ascourter]

Thank you!

[@glyphack]

QF is definitely one of the best things in vim

It would be nice to incorporate :make and then also :compiler. Eg. if you do :compiler go, then run :make your go project will be compiled and errors will be sent to the qflist. :make can also be used with a make file.

[@ascourter]

Yes! This is in my list for a future quickfix list video. Seeing what commands you can use since make is pretty heavily used.

[@BvngeeCord]

Would love to see this!

[@lpanebr]

cfdo I didn't know we could have up to 10 lists! You showed how to save the list to a file and I got curious if it's possible and how to open it as a quickfix list later? Thanks!

[@ascourter]

You can pass the -q option to vim to open a qf file. E.g. vim -q example.qf I think you should be able to also use "call setqflist" but not 100% sure how to pass a file.

[@lpanebr]

@@ascourter that's great. Thank you so much! Love your content! ❤️
