error list

[Joseph]

Is there an easy way to dump the error list to the current vim buffer/window?

Actually, is there a general way to do this for other commands too?

So - I want to type something like ':clist/m 0' would be great

Hi,

Are you looking for the following command?

   :call append(1, split(execute('clist'), "\n"))

or in insert mode, type the following:

   <C-R>=execute('clist')

and then hit Enter to insert the quickfix list contents.

1. Open the quickfix window
:copen
2. Yank everything
:1,$y
3. Close the quickfix window
:cclose
4. Put, e.g.
:0put


Best regards,
Tony.

I use this code, which you may adapt to your needs:

" Send the output of a Vim command to a new scratch buffer.
"
" Example: :call lf_run#vim_cmd('digraphs')
fun! lf_run#vim_cmd(cmd)
botright 10new
setlocal buftype=nofile bufhidden=wipe nobuflisted noswapfile nowrap
call append(0, split(execute(a:cmd), "\n"))
endf

" Execute a Vim command and send the output to a new scratch buffer
command! -complete=command -nargs=+ VimCmd call lf_run#vim_cmd(<q-args>)

So, try:

:VimCmd clist

Hope this helps,
Life.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. The other response mentioning copen will be useful, too.

Some how, I don't think I have never used the execute command in something close to using vim for 20 years.
