Vim: remove line numbers and colorcolumn from quickfix window

In my vimrc I have both set number and set colorcolumn=80, so now when I open a quickfix window, I see both line numbers and the color column. Is there some way to disable these settings for quickfix windows only? (If it matters, I'm on OSX using vim 7.3).

Thanks!

Note that line numbers may be a bit useful with cc <line-number> of <line-number>G<enter> to jump to an error you see. – Ciro Santilli 新疆改造中心法轮功六四事件 – 2016-03-23T22:01:50.470

Put the following into ~/.vim/ftplugin/qf.vim:

setlocal nonumber
setlocal colorcolumn=

As long as you have filetype plugin support enabled, that should handle it.

Worked perfectly! Thanks. I didn't know about this, very useful. – smessing – 2012-10-31T06:07:48.677

If you don't mind having an extra line in your ~/.vimrc instead:

au FileType qf setlocal nonumber colorcolumn=
