## What went wrong

when using lintr with ALE, the linter errors get written to temporary files in addition to the file where the error was found. So when trying to quickly index through the linting errors using the local list in Vim, I will be prompted to open buffers for each temporary file.

I have read both the ALE and lintr documentation, but I definitely could be missing something. This happens both on windows and on mac. Thank you for the awesome linting package. It is super useful. Any help would be appreciated.

## Reproducing the bug

Open local list in R file with linting errors with lintr enabled.
