While you can put more than one variable into it, only the first occurence in the buffer actually gets a little arrow in the fringe. And even though there is a string to use instead on non-window frames, the feature is not even present on a text-terminal. And it only works at BOL, whereas error-messages are now recognized anywhere on a line, even one behind another. So I'll have to use my own overlay. I'm wondering if flashing this for half a second, like the jumped to position, is useful. While that is more of a toy, since the cursor lands there anyways, highlighting the message seems to be an essential feature for some people. If you get distracted after Cx- ` you can easily miss this within half a second — especially if it takes a second to fetch a remote file first. Maybe I should combine half a second with a pre command hook? Or leave it until another message gets located? coralament / best Grötens / liebe Grüße / best regards / elkorajn salutojn Daniel Pfeiffer -- lerne / learn / apprends / läramå / ucz się Esperanto: http://lernu.net/
