Description Jesse Glick 2014-07-16 12:56:06 UTC
20140711-51268f509631. I have a Java source file open with >3k LoC. On line 2904 there is a compilation error. To navigate to it from the top of the file, I would need to press Ctrl+Alt+PERIOD about 43 times, jumping past various warnings—even things that do not show an actual warning lightbulb, such as

try {
    …
} catch (SomeException e) {
    return false;
}

where I am taken to ‘e’ because it is unused.

If there is a compilation error, obviously the warnings are irrelevant until it is fixed. I want to jump only between errors, ignoring warnings. Or at least jump to the errors first, then go back and jump to warnings when I have cycled through all of them.
