Enter in Quickfix window gives "E73: tag stack empty" error

Question

I am using the Lid.vim plugin to navigate my C++ project. Once I run :Lid, it shows me the list of matching tags in the quickfix window.

When I switch to the quickfix window, select the occurence I'm interested in and press Enter it produces an error:

E73: tag stack empty

and does not go to the location.

Instead of Enter if I use Ctrl-Enter it opens a new window and goes to the location correctly.

I want to open the quickfix location in the current window itself. Why is this error happening?

Maybe that's something you should talk about with the author. — romainl, Commented May 28, 2015 at 16:11
This is not just the Lid.vim plugin. I have had this issue with ctags as well before. — woodstok, Commented May 28, 2015 at 16:20
Enter is implemented internally as :.cc (it's actually :.cc for quickfix lists and :.ll for location lists). Does the problem still occur if you run :cc? — lcd047, Commented May 29, 2015 at 7:00

The issue was that i had a mapping map <C-m> :tnext<CR> in my vimrc . In vim, <C-m> is equivalent to Enter. More detailed answer at how to map Ctrl-m without affecting return keypress
