I'm using fzf's Rg command to populate QuickFix window with all search results. I also have my own mappings to :cn and :cp commands.

Everything is fine except one thing when I press mapped key for :cn command new buffer is opened and the line with searched text is positioned very close to the bottom edge of window. So if I searched for function name I need to scroll down to see function's body.

Is there any way to change this behavior? I would like to position line with found text somewhere near the middle of the window.

  • Welcome to Vi and Vim! Afaik and can tell from :help :cn, this "new buffer" is not standard behavior. That said, 'switchbuf' may influence the behavior. Can you check yours? – D. Ben Knoble♦ Nov 11 '19 at 16:11
  • My switchbuf is "usetab". I not fully understand what do you mean saying "new buffer" is not standard behavior. What is standard behavior then? – igor.sol Nov 11 '19 at 16:20
  • Ah crud, I fear I’ve misread your Q. For some reason I thought you meant :cn was opening a new split, which would be bizarre. Nvm on that fromt – D. Ben Knoble♦ Nov 11 '19 at 16:33

The zz command and it’s siblings zb and zt are helpful positioning commands.

In this case, I would probably update your mapping to do zz (center cursor) after :cnext.
