Quickfix Formatting for Jumping to Errors

[CaptainKraft]

Are there any plans to implement some sort of quickfix window formatting so that we can jump to lines referenced in compiler output?

I use Syntastic and the plugin tries to automatically integrate with it. The result should be that you see the compilation errors as soon as you save the file. To jump from error to error, nothing beats unimpaired's ]q and [q buttons.

I don't use many plugins and my workflow for handling compiler errors is :cnext and :cprev for navigating the warnings and errors that show up in the quickfix.

I'll see if I can dive into the code to find a way to get this done for Nim output.

Thanks

The plugin modifies few settings from stock vim that should be relevant. It sets makeprg and errorformat to some appropriate settings here:

https://github.com/zah/nim.vim/blob/master/compiler/nim.vim

The errorformat setting in that file is exactly what I need, but it doesn't seem to take effect. None of the changes I make to that file seem to change anything when I compile from Vim.

I do have a Makefile, so perhaps using it causes Vim to skip your compiler file in the plugin?

I just came back to playing with Nim again and thought I'd revive this thread. Jumping to errors still doesn't work for me when using :make
