vim-addon-qf-layout

A minimal quickfix layout cycler for VIM Marc Weber wants to maintain. See credits below. Additional features might be merged or put into new ropesitories later

How does it work?

After :cope

  • make modifiable
  • %delete
  • readding all quickfix item entries by call append(), this way you can change the formatting, eg choose to not show filenames or vertically align the texts

Thus

foo.txt|20|  bar error at class
foo-soo-zat.txt|288|  import failed

gets rewritte like this:

foo.txt        | 20| bar error at class
foo-soo-zat.txt|288| import failed

or this (no file names):

| 20| bar error at class - very long message which only fits in one line if 
|288| hide the filename ..

Usage:

:grep -ri 'something' .

Then put cursor in quickfix window, type \v to cycle layouts

Customization:

" This declares the defaults, so just add the keys to .vimrc you want to change
let g:vim_addon_qf_layout = {}
let g:vim_addon_qf_layout.quickfix_formatters = [ 'NOP', 'vim_addon_qf_layout#DefaultFormatter', 'vim_addon_qf_layout#FormatterNoFilename', 'vim_addon_qf_layout#Reset' ]
let g:vim_addon_qf_layout.lhs_cycle = '<buffer> \v'
let g:vim_addon_qf_layout.file_name_align_max_width = 60

" Optionally you can define your own mappings like this:
noremap \no_filenames call vim_addon_qf_layout#ReformatWith('vim_addon_qf_layout#FormatterNoFilename')<cr>

CREDITS TO Alex Leferry & Info about his original version

Credits to Alex Leferry 2 (alexherbo2 TA gmail.com) who showed me the initial implementation and the idea.

His updated version might appear here: https://github.com/alexherbo2/vim_addon_qf_layout.vim

His original version: https://bitbucket.org/alexherbo2/dotfiles/src/09080c78ca0c15aeda428cffb98c18c24ed081c0/dead_scripts/quickfix.vim?at=master

Features his original version provides:

  1. set col of cursor
  2. on :cope jump to nearest line
  3. drop columns automatically if lines get too long, eg start by hiding the filename (do this by providing a new formatter function)
  4. provide a sample how to use ruby/python or such?
  5. set quickfix size to number of lines? maybe some more
  6. limit cols cursor can use
