Description

vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>q', vim.diagnostic.setloclist, { desc = 'Open diagnostic [Q]uickfix list' })

just learned that there is a differnce between a quickfix list and a location list (thats what i call them for now)

ran into this when i made a keybind for :compiler dotnet<CR>:make and thought i could see the results with the kickstarter keymap for <leader>q. (instead i get the results with :copen)

dont have a specific change request, but i thought i should let you know that, that was a point of confusion for me. and perhaps leaves rooms for improvement.
