Distinct quickfix buffers for vimgrep and make

Question

When 'make'-ing under vim, there is often a need to vimgrep the files.
In such cases, vimgrep takes over the quickfix buffer, so one needs to re-make in order to browse remaining compiler errors.

Is there a way to avoid this mess?

Answer 1

You should have a look at :cold and :cnew, see :h quickfix-error-lists
