If I run :cnext when I'm already at the end of the quickfix list I get the error message
E553: No more items
and nothing happens. Instead of this, when I enter :cnext at the end of the list, I would like vim to cycle back around to the first quickfix entry. Is it possible configure vim for this behavior?
You can write some commands:
command! Cnext try | cnext | catch | cfirst | catch | endtry
command! Cprev try | cprev | catch | clast | catch | endtry
command! Lnext try | lnext | catch | lfirst | catch | endtry
command! Lprev try | lprev | catch | llast | catch | endtry
If the exception is caught, it jumps to the first/last item. You can use cabbrev so you don't have to use the upper case commands:
cabbrev cnext Cnext
cabbrev cprev CPrev
cabbrev lnext Lnext
cabbrev lprev Lprev
silent! since it was causing the status line to not update when wrapping.
