[BUG] cannot use in *lint-output* buffer

I can't reproduce a regression. Probably you expect the filetype=grep style behavior where every line is a valid location.
Lint output (for better or worse) has forever used filetype=make where make_error_pattern determines what's a valid location (for next/prev but also for jump)

For example here the first one is matched but the second one isn't:

src/main.cc:100:9: error: expected ‘}’ before string constant
  100 |         "» {+u}User{} hook support\n"
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
src/main.cc:97:8: note: to match this ‘{’
   97 |     }, {
      |        ^

It's possible that we want to relax this (perhaps only for the jump command). I personally have a dedicated shortcut which has some drawbacks I guess
The expectation for lint.kak are not very easily defined

You are absolutely right. I was sure that I was in a buffer with filetype=grep.

My current linting error was:

main.go:5:6: main redeclared in this block

And effectively, it does not match with the make_error_pattern. If I manually change the line to:

main.go:5:6: error: main redeclared in this block

It now works. So my bad, this is not a bug.

But as you say, maybe this rule could be relaxed effectively. It might not be necessary to have that level of precision for the jump.

Should I close this issue and this could be tracked elsewhere?
