Whereas I helped to develop the next-error framework, I'm not its author,
so I don't know the purpose of some parts, for example, I had no idea
why next-error-no-select was implemented this way. I see that
next-error-no-select is called from compilation-display-error,
but don't understand why in grep mode the ‘n’ key is bound directly
to next-error-no-select, but not to compilation-display-error.
Also I see a glaring question mark in the comments of grep-mode-map
asking why "\r" is bound to compile-goto-error, and unfortunately
I have no answer.
