vim's make, cnext, cprev (or Emacs' compile, next-error, previous-error)

I cannot find any analogues of these commands in the command list for helix. At least in Emacs (I am not experienced with Vim), upon a compilation error, you can (say) have the editor automatically scroll to the first error in a compilation buffer and/or to the corresponding point in the source code if known. It would be nice if we had similar functionality in helix.

Are these not what you are looking for? https://docs.helix-editor.com/keymap.html#unimpaired (specifically the first 4 from the list).

No, those are different.

If you have an LSP running you can use ]d and [d to navigate between errors in the current file.

As I mentioned in my other response, the functionality I brought up is distinct from moving between language-server diagnostics.

In Emacs, next-error specifically uses compilation, grep, or occur (occur is similar to grep) buffers. You can move between compilation errors or grep matches.

So to put it another way, I am suggesting that Helix support a compilation feature similar to M-x compile in Emacs or :make in Vim, and accompanying compile-error navigation commands.
