## The Idea
Save error messages from a compiler in a file and use Vim to jump to the errors one by one.

## Basic Commands:
+ copen: open quickfix list in a separate window
+ cclose: close quickfix list
+ cn[ext]: go to next item in the list
+ cp[rev]: go to previous item in the list

```
nnoremap <C-j> :cnext<cr>
nnoremap <C-k> :cprev<cr>
```

## QuickFix Do
The `:cdo` command:
```
:cdo s/something/something-else/gc
:cdo norm _:s/const/function<cr>f=hdt(f=dt{
```
We can record a macro. Then
```
:cdo norm @j
```
