compile.nvim

An Emacs-style compile command for Neovim.

What it does

• Runs any shell command from :Compile
• <M-x> key for shortcut.
• Make use of vim wildcards like :Compile git diff %
• Opens a transient bottom split for the output
• Closes with q
• Re-run the last command with r (works only if used inside compile buffer)
• Reopen last executed buffer with g>
• Resizes the output window with + and -
• Jumps to source locations with <CR> on parsed error lines

Usage

Run a command:

:Compile make
:Compile cargo test
:Compile pytest -q

If you omit arguments, the plugin falls back to &makeprg.

Notes

• The output window is reused across runs.
• It parses common file:line:col: and file:line: style diagnostics.
• Jumping uses the directory the command was launched from.
