Hello. I really like DrRacket's error output but i have recently switched to emacs as i prefer its parenthesis navigation modes and other things about it.

One thing i noticed is when i have an error, say application with wrong number of args, if i navigate to error using "C-x `" i don't skip to the part where the application went wrong.

It is a bit annoying and DrRacket is way better in this scenario. Does anyone have a way of making this work nicely in emacs racket-mode?

Thank you.

I have discovered that if i do a C-u C-c C-c i get better error messages and can navigate to the proper spot. It uses something called errortrace. So i guess this is a non-issue.

Error trace is what DrRacket is using under the hood too.
