description
A plugin for the quickfix and location list window to quickly preview the location of the quickfix item under the cursor in a popup window.

Usage:

To avoid conflicts with other plugins no default key mappings for opening the popup window are provided. You will first have to bind <plug>(qf-preview-open) to a key-sequence of your choice.

For example, to open the popup window with p, add the following to ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/qf.vim:

    nmap <buffer> p <plug>(qf-preview-open)

Or alternatively, if you prefer to keep your plugin settings in your vimrc:

    augroup qfpreview
        autocmd!
        autocmd FileType qf nmap <buffer> p <plug>(qf-preview-open)
    augroup END

Now navigate the cursor in the quickfix window to the desired quickfix item and press p to open a popup window with the file containing the error. The window is scrolled such that the buffer line with the error is at the top of the popup window.
