[Vim-latex-devel] Folding breaks "goto error"

[Dan M. H. <dan...@st...>]

Hi,

I'm new to Vim-Latex and I'm sorry if this has already been discussed.

When an error is selected in the quickfix-window, pressing <Enter>  
takes you to the error in the latex-document. But when the given line  
is inside a fold, nothing happens. Is it possible to get Vim-Latex to  
autoexpand the fold and take you to the error?

Thanks
Dan Michael

IIRC, pressing a key that will open a fold (like pressing the right 
cursor) will bring you to the correct line. That is, the quickfix window 
will bring you to the right fold, and pressing the right arrow key 
should open the fold to the correct spot.

The problem isn't something specific to Vim-LaTeX. When you press 
"enter" in the quickfix window, Vim runs

:.cc

which brings you to the line corresponding to wherever your cursor is in 
the quickfix window. You would like to do something like

:.cc;foldo!

or something, but that doesn't work (Vim complains about "trailing 
characters").

Because this is a Vim problem and not a Vim-LaTeX problem, I highly 
recommend that you post in the "vim" list. I'm sure others have had this 
problem and have a solution (or at least can give an authoritative "no").

1. What was your fix? That is, when you did :cc, did it autoexpand as 
you wanted?

2. "Enter" works fine for me in the Quickfix window, because I use 
"vimlatex" to pipe my latex through. Everyone who uses Vim and LaTeX 
together should be doing something similar.

Yes, when I use :cc in the main window (not the Quickfix), Vim  
autoexpands the folds as I wanted. But when using the <Enter>-key in  
the Quickfix-window it only takes me to the fold without expanding it.  
That is not a big issue though.

Thanks a lot, Ted. That solved the problem with my non-working <Enter>- 
key.
