It's a concept you'll find in vi/vim which it seems was borrowed from the Manx's Aztec C compiler on the Amiga.

A "quickfix" is basically an item (error or warning) returned by the compiler/build tool and correspond to a special mode, in editor supporting it, which allows to jump quickly from one error to the other.

You can find more information about this in the vim documentation: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/quickfix.html

Hope that clarify

Excuse my ignorance, but what is "quick fixing", exactly?
