I am starting to use quickfix
to handle my latex compilation process. I found the vim-latex
package (https://github.com/vim-latex/vim-latex) but I am only interested in the quickfix part, and I want to use my own Makefile, so I merely copied https://github.com/vim-latex/vim-latex/blob/master/compiler/tex.vim to my ~/.vim/compiler/
and commented out the part that sets makeprg
. I also modified
if &errorfile ==# '' || &errorfile ==# 'errors.err'
execute 'set errorfile=' . fnameescape(Tex_GetMainFileName(':p:r') . '.log')
endif
to
if &errorfile ==# '' || &errorfile ==# 'errors.err'
execute 'set errorfile=' . fnameescape(expand('%:p:r') . '.log')
endif
I also put
compiler tex
in my ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim
The quickfix otherwise works fine, a sample quickfix list looks like,
(a lot of messages from latex log file)
|125 error| Undefined control sequence. \R
./abstract.tex|| ...
(more messages from latex log file)
|197 warning| ...
where the error
is marked with red font and the ./abstract.tex
is marked with light green font. If I go to the buffer containing the source file and execute :cn
, it jumps to the correct line in the source file with the next error/warning, so I believe errorformat
is set correctly. :cn
also works correctly in the quickfix list window, However, pressing Enter in the quickfix list window around 125 error
or 197 warning
does not seem to have any effect. Pressing Enter around ./abstract.tex||
does work though. This is a minor issue that I can live with, but I would still like to know any fix to it.
By the way, :verbose nmap <CR>
says "No mapping found" in the quickfix window.
My second and main question is as in the sample quickfix list above, there are errors as well as warnings. I am wondering whether there is a way to jump to the next error ignoring all the warnings, and vice versa. In the terminology of quickfix
, is there a way to jump to the next error of a certain type (%t
in errorformat
)? The simple command :cn
navigates through all the errors, regardless of the type.
plugin-vim-latex
has options to suppress markup of warnings, I just wanted to know such a function is available in general when I asked this question.
