I'm happily using the Syntastic plugin for vim. The "Quickfix list" at the bottom of the window (technically, it's another vim window) takes up space and I don't really use it. Disabling the quickfix list via

let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 0                                    
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 0

in ~/.vimrc does not work. What options need to be set for disabling the quickfix list?

    `let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 0` is the one you need and it works perfectly, could you show us your `~/.vimrc`? – romainl Jan 19 '14 at 19:29
  • @romainl that worked for me. – Nishant Nawarkhede Mar 08 '16 at 10:55
  • @romainl I have a problem with this wickfix list, because it opens on false positive ... Indeed I write a report in french and I always have the warning : Whitespace before punctation mark in " !" And this warning opens a quickfix window because of Syntastic. Is there a way to know from which plugin this warning comes from ? So I could be able to disable it, or precise the language to check. – Hugo Apr 04 '18 at 11:52

Creating an MWE takes some time, but almost always helps identifying the error. In this case, two packages did the syntax checking, namely

Bundle 'scrooloose/syntastic'                                                   
Bundle 'andviro/flake8-vim'

It was flake8-vim that introduced the quickfix list. Disabling it obviously fixes the problem.
