The quickfix list lets the user navigate multi-file results. Populate it after doing the actual work with native tools.
Requires: Neovim MCP active. See using-neovim skill.
Quickfix navigation commands (:cn, :cp, :cfirst) open files in the focused window.
Always run this before navigating to ensure files open in the main window, not the
AI terminal:
neovim_vim_command(":lua for _, w in ipairs(vim.api.nvim_list_wins()) do local b = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(w) local bt = vim.bo[b].buftype if bt == '' then vim.api.nvim_set_current_win(w) break end end")
Use native grep to find matches.
neovim_vim_grep(<pattern>)
neovim_vim_command(":copen")
neovim_vim_command(":cfirst")
neovim_vim_command(":cn")
neovim_vim_command(":cp")
neovim_vim_command(":lua print(vim.fn.json_encode(vim.fn.getqflist()))")
neovim_vim_grep + :copen to show scopeneovim_vim_command(":checktime") to reloadneovim_vim_command(":cclose") when done| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Using vim_grep as primary search | Use native grep |
| Forgetting to open quickfix | Always call :copen after populating |
| Quickfix navigation without Window Focus Step | Files open in the AI terminal instead of the main window |
