Message supression revisited.

Message supression revisited.

[John R. Culleton]

I compile a Context file using an F key in my Gvim session. I
I waste a lot of time watching messages scroll past in my Gvim
window. What I am looking for is a command line switch or a
combination of command line switches that will suppress ALL
messages except for:
1. error messages that cause the compile to halt.
2. The message(s) that tells me that compilation is completed. 
If necessary I can live without this message. 

With most programs one can divert all ordinary messages to
/dev/null but fatal error messages still return to the console or
the console-equivalent (the 2> messages in Linux-speak.).

Can this be done? Is there a way to modify texexec.rb to do this?

How about a different approach. Set the makeprg to texmfstart texexec. 
Then set the appropriate errorformat. Then map your F key to :make | 
copen. That way, vim will parse texexec's output and show only the 
lines that have errors in the copen window.

Latex-suite does something similar for latex. If you know the format 
of all the error messages that tex and context spew out, writing an 
error format is not difficult. As a bonus, you can jump to the line 
containing the error.

Very interesting approach.  But it would be better if the
nonfatal error messsages were not issued in the first place. I
will try what you suggest and see how the timing is.
