Using Vim's quickfix windows, or location lists usually involves opening them in a separate window, and using :cnext or its equivalents to page through the messages.
This plugin shows checks whether the current line in a buffer is in its local location list, the global quickfix list, or the Syntastic vimscript#2736 plugin's list of syntax errors. If it is, it displays the connected error message at the bottom of the screen, where command line messages are displayed. (Technically,this isn't Vim's status line, it's the command line buffer, but it's certainly where status messages often appear.)
Commands:
- QuickfixStatusEnable -- turns on the feature globally
- QuickfixStatusDisable -- turns off the feature globally
