After installing the plugin I get this funky error when using :E:
E464: Ambiguous use of user-defined command
Incidentally, :Ex, :Exp, :Expl, and so forth all seem to work dandily.
I haven't been able to figure out the issue so far. Perhaps it's a conflict with another plugin or something weird. However, I did manage to come up with a ghetto work around in case anyone else has this issue!
cmap E<CR> Ex<CR>
This sort of thing causes blood to spray out of my eyes. Hopefully I can do some _real_ investigation when I get some free time instead of trying to put duct tape on everything I see.
the problem is that syntastic defines the :Errors command - so now just typing :E isnt enough for vim to determine what command you want to invoke. Try using :Ex instead
Yeah, I noticed that earlier today. I'm just so used to using :E and habits in Vim can be tough to break. No sweat though. This plugin is awesome! Thanks!
For a slightly less hacky workaround I added this to my ~/.vimrc
command E Ex
I think it should be SyntasticErrors, and if the user wants to shorten it, then she can just call command Errors SyntasticErrors. Or make it configurable. I'll use paulgb solution, but I think it is good practice to avoid conflicts with broadly used commands and keys.
