Re: Propertizing the minor-mode-alist

    I misspoke earlier: there's a keystroke for goto to next error, but not
    for goto first error.

C-u C-x ` goes to the first error.  C-x ` goes to the first error
when you have not visited any errors.

If this can be made to do the job, I would definitely prefer it.

    However, I take your point about moving point being a strange thing for
    a mode-line click to do.  The underlying idea is that clicking on the
    invalidity indicator ought to give information about the invalidity.
    Moving point to the location  of the first error was an easy way to do
    this, but perhaps a better way would be to pop up a buffer giving a
    summary of all the errors in the buffer.  Do you think that would be
    better?

I would rather avoid ad-hoc mode line interfaces.
