-Q mode without VPAGER buffer?

[andymass]

I'd like to use vpager's -Q mode for terminal replacements of ":make" and ":grep." My issue is with the VPAGER buffer, which is rather redundant in this use case. Ideally, vpager would not open any new windows, only populate the error list (should not copen either). Additionally, grep seems quite slow, which might be caused by writing to the VPAGER buffer (but I'm not sure).

Is it possible to skip the buffer creation?

I'll have a look. In theory it should be possible, but it might get hairy if one needs to support different compiler output.

Best, Christian
