Re: [PATCH] [UPDATE] Fix mouse click on flymake

[Ergus]

Hi Eli:

Thanks for replying.

Please, find attached the new patch.

At some point I would like to add an extra feature to highlight the
exact error message in the tabulated list somehow (or at least to go
directly to the error line in the tabulated list, or using
pulse-momentary-highlight-one-line)

But that's a different feature and tabulated-list does not seem to bring
this feature directly (at last go to the tabular line based in some key)
so, for now I prefer not to hack flymake to do it artificially.

Best,
Ergus
