bug#48191: C-x ` runs the command next-error: carpal tunnel syndrome

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

You know what,
    C-x ` runs the command next-error
is a lot of work pressing over and over.

Let's think of
    C-s runs the command isearch-repeat-forward
Now that's like driving a Tesla, vs. some '68 Oldsmobile.

Sure, they are just going to say

> Well then just bind it to your favorite key. Case closed.

But I'm talking about the health of the wrists of future generations.
The kids. So emacs should add an additional one stroke binding.

You know what, C-h w next-error tells you that "next-error is on C-x `, 
M-g n, M-g M-n".  That's already three keybindings; the third one should 
be particularly easy to type on any keyboard.

And you know what, if none of them suits the needs of your wrist, you can 
(define-key global-map (kbd "<your preferred key>") 'next-error).

OK, testing with
(occur "o" nil)
^so^s^s^s^s beats all the rest.

GH> can (define-key

I am talking about defaults for future users.

Yes, searching is a more frequent operation than going to the next error.

On current master, you can type M-x repeat-mode and then:

    M-g n n n n n

IOW, I don't think there is anything more to do here; just use
`repeat-mode'.

Yup; closing the bug report.

OK, but please be sure the next-error docstring mentions that fact, else
no one could guess it out of thin air. Thanks.
