Support quickfix mode

[Aura7988]

Hi, thanks for this plugin! It works perfect.

There is one thing I would appreciate. Currently, open files in quickfix mode from terminal buffers will create a nested session. It would be wonderful if a quickfix or location list is created in this usage.

Hi, I don't use the quickfix list so I'm not entirely sure what the request is, but I'm happy to look into implementing this if you provide some more info.

How would I open a file in quickfix mode, and what is quickfix mode? I've heard of the quickfix list/window but that's it.

nvim -q qf.txt will place nvim in quickfix mode.

The content of the qf.txt is usually generated by gcc or grep, and each line contains information such as file path, line number and column number:

fileA.cc:530:13: some info xxx
fileB.hh:106:23: some info xxx

Ah alright, I see! Thanks for explaining. This should be pretty simple to implement, I'll look into it tomorrow :)

Thanks in advance :)

I found that the value of nfile is 0 in this usage.

Thanks again. I recently wrote a simple bash function.

vi() {
    local sp=~/.cache/nvim/server.pipe
    [[ ! -S $sp ]] && nvim --listen $sp $@ && return
    [[ $# -eq 0 ]] && return
    local rs="--remote-send '<C-\><C-N>:tabe|lcd $PWD|"
    case "$1" in
        -b)
            [[ $# -lt 2 ]] && { echo 'Wrong arguments'; return; }
            rs+="set binary|drop ${@:2}<CR>'"
            ;;
        -d)
            [[ $# -lt 3 ]] && { echo 'Wrong arguments'; return; }
            rs+="e $2|diffthis"
            for f in "${@:3}"; do rs+="|vs $f|diffthis"; done;
            rs+="<CR>'"
            ;;
        -q)
            [[ $# -ne 2 ]] && { echo 'Wrong arguments'; return; }
            rs+="lfile $2<CR>'"
            ;;
        *)
            rs+="drop $@<CR>'"
            ;;
    esac
    eval nvim --server $sp $rs
}

I'd like to keep this open since I'd still like to look into supporting it. Sorry for not getting to this though, I've been very busy recently. Bash implementation looks great tho!
