Vim: keep location list window open after selecting a file

问题

I need exactly the opposite behavior of this question. My observation is that upon pressing enter on a line in location list window, the window will be closed and the main window will display the content of the selected file. As a contrary, quickfix window doesn't have this behavior, i.e., it remains opened after the selection.

I have checked my autocmd and there is no special handling for location list or quickfix list.

An example - :lgrep hi * to populate the location list. lopen to open the location list window. Press enter on any line.

Syntastic and the location-list window

Syntastic by default closes the location list window when no errors are present. Therefore if you use something like :lgrep which does not mark any of the results as errors then the location-list window will close once you leave the location-list window, e.g. like using <cr> to jump to a location.

Syntastic provides a way to tweak this via g:syntastic_auto_loc_list variable. Setting this to 0 will disable the auto-close functionality.

Set the following in your vimrc file:

let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 0

To learn more about this variable see: :h 'syntastic_auto_loc_list'.

Generic Vim debugging

Often the easiest way to test if your vimrc or a plugin is causing problem is it compare the functionality to a vanilla vim config (or at least more vanilla). Do this by starting up Vim without a vimrc. I use the following invocation:

vim -N -u NONE

Once you have started up Vim in this manner you can test for you bug and see if it is present.

If the bug is still present then it that means it is probably a part of Vim nature or a bug with Vim itself. In this case I suggest you do more read the documentation via :h :help, :h :helpgrep, and :h bug-reports
If the bug is not present then the error is occurring due to something in your vimrc or plugin. This often means you need to disable portions of your vimrc/plugins to try and find the culprit. A fast way is to use a binary search.

Slightly more complicated debugging with `:verbose`

Often a bug is easier to track down directly by using :verbose to see where something was last set. (See :h :verbose)

Mappings will display were they are last set. e.g. :verbose nmap <leader>foo. See :h :map-verbose and :h map-listing.
Settings will display where they were last set as well. e.g. :verbose set shiftwidth. See :h :set-verbose.
Autocomd's will display where they are last defined. e.g. :verbose autocmd BufEnter. See :h :autocmd-verbose and :h autocmd-list.

Advanced debugging with `'verbosefile'`

Another way to debug something is to use 'verbose'/:verbose and 'verbosefile' to effectively log what Vim is doing.

Example of using :verbose and 'verbosefile' to debug your bug.

Do :lgrep command
Open location-list window via :lopen
Set 'verbosefile' via :set verbosefile=~/verbose.txt
:15verbose normal <c-v><cr>
Now open the log file via :sp ~/verbose.txt
Search the log file for anything suspicious. e.g. close or lclose in your case
Once found it will show you the autocmd or function that is causing the closing.
If autocmd look to revise it.
If a function you may need to look at :scriptnames to figure out which file the is associated with script local functions. See :scriptnames and :h <SID>.

I find using Tim Pope's scriptease.vim makes this process easier by providing the :Verbose command which will setup 'verbosefile' for you as well as open it right afterwards in the preview window. Scriptease also provides a nice wrapper around :scriptnames via :Scriptnames. In general scriptease.vim provides many helpful methods to debugging and reloading plugins.

Use :cw to get quickfix window. It will appear horizontally split to current window. and :ccl to return back to selected result
