Quickfix window: Hide full paths?

[Nathan Neff]

Hello all,

I would like to be able to hide /really/really/really/long/file/paths/ from

my quick fix results.

I found this post from 2009:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/vim_use/fLhZySx3IUA/qO90VGcVhGUJ;context-place=forum/vim_use (actually, I'm one of the responders there too :-)

I figured I would ask again

Does anyone have recommendations which do not require compiling Vim?

Thanks,

--Nate

Hi,

The PR #5465 (https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/5465) is created to address this.

This is not yet merged.

I use a couple of plugins (ftplugin and syntax) that search the
quickfix list for the longest common prefix and use the conceal
feature to display that as ellipses.

I have recently added that feature to my plugin https://github.com/romainl/vim-qf. It is not yet available in a proper release but it's on master.
