The option to specify a regular expression to be used for to parse document, line number, and position for tag jump would make the output bar *much* more useful. I’d like to be able to parse the output from Ant for example.

It would also be extremely useful to be able to write to the output bar via the macro scripting language and to set the regular expression used to parse the output.

It also would be nice if there was a way to make “tag jump” go to a line in the current active file. Right now, there’s no way to do a tag jump to a buffer that is not yet saved. Something like …

(100): some text

… would work.

I wrote a macro that writes output with tag jump information to a temp file and then calls a macro to write the temp file contents to the output bar. It’s a hack to get around the lack of any way to write to the output bar via a macro, but it works just fine for files that have been saved. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for unsaved buffers.
