Hi Stephen,

For the languages I use the compiler error does not indicate where on
the line and often thats not really where the error is, its just where
the compiler detected it, so you have to place the caret anyway.

I think the current behavior is ok, you already have your hand on the mouse ...

Of course the emacs behavior is because placing the cursor used to be
done by keyboard, not by mouse.

Since you have been (mis)trained by emacs to keep your hands on the
keyboard ;-), why don't you bind next error/previous error to keycodes
and then you don't need to put your hand on the mouse at all.

Cheers
Lex
