Todo |taglist-todo| - -============================================================================== - *taglist-intro* -1. Overview~ - -The "Tag List" plugin is a source code browser plugin for Vim. This plugin -allows you to efficiently browse through source code files for different -programming languages. The "Tag List" plugin provides the following features: - - * Displays the tags (functions, classes, structures, variables, etc.) - defined in a file in a vertically or horizontally split Vim window. - * In GUI Vim, optionally displays the tags in the Tags drop-down menu and - in the popup menu. - * Automatically updates the taglist window as you switch between - files/buffers. As you open new files, the tags defined in the new files - are added to the existing file list and the tags defined in all the - files are displayed grouped by the filename. - * When a tag name is selected from the taglist window, positions the - cursor at the definition of the tag in the source file. - * Automatically highlights the current tag name. - * Groups the tags by their type and displays them in a foldable tree. - * Can display the prototype and scope of a tag. - * Can optionally display the tag prototype instead of the tag name in the - taglist window. - * The tag list can be sorted either by name or by chronological order. - * Supports the following language files: Assembly, ASP, Awk, Beta, C, - C++, C#, Cobol, Eiffel, Erlang, Fortran, HTML, Java, Javascript, Lisp, - Lua, Make, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Rexx, Ruby, Scheme, Shell, Slang, - SML, Sql, TCL, Verilog, Vim and Yacc. - * Can be easily extended to support new languages. Support for - existing languages can be modified easily. - * Provides functions to display the current tag name in the Vim status - line or the window title bar. - * The list of tags and files in the taglist can be saved and - restored across Vim sessions. - * Provides commands to get the name and prototype of the current tag. - * Runs in both console/terminal and GUI versions of Vim. - * Works with the winmanager plugin. Using the winmanager plugin, you - can use Vim plugins like the file explorer, buffer explorer and the - taglist plugin at the same time like an IDE. - * Can be used in both Unix and MS-Windows systems. - -============================================================================== - *taglist-internet* -2. Taglist on the internet~ - -The home page of the taglist plugin is at: -> - http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/ -< -You can subscribe to the taglist mailing list to post your questions or -suggestions for improvement or to send bug reports. Visit the following page -for subscribing to the mailing list: -> - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/taglist -< -============================================================================== - *taglist-requirements* -3. Requirements~ - -The taglist plugin requires the following: - - * Vim version 6.0 and above - * Exuberant ctags 5.0 and above - -The taglist plugin will work on all the platforms where the exuberant ctags -utility and Vim are supported (this includes MS-Windows and Unix based -systems). - -The taglist plugin relies on the exuberant ctags utility to dynamically -generate the tag listing. The exuberant ctags utility must be installed in -your system to use this plugin. The exuberant ctags utility is shipped with -most of the Linux distributions. You can download the exuberant ctags utility -from -> - http://ctags.sourceforge.net -< -The taglist plugin doesn't use or create a tags file and there is no need to -create a tags file to use this plugin. The taglist plugin will not work with -the GNU ctags or the Unix ctags utility. - -This plugin relies on the Vim "filetype" detection mechanism to determine the -type of the current file. You have to turn on the Vim filetype detection by -adding the following line to your .vimrc file: -> - filetype on -< -The taglist plugin will not work if you run Vim in the restricted mode (using -the -Z command-line argument). - -The taglist plugin uses the Vim system() function to invoke the exuberant -ctags utility. If Vim is compiled without the system() function then you -cannot use the taglist plugin. Some of the Linux distributions (Suse) compile -Vim without the system() function for security reasons. - -============================================================================== - *taglist-install* -4. Installation~ - -1. Download the taglist.zip file and unzip the files to the $HOME/.vim or the - $HOME/vimfiles or the $VIM/vimfiles directory. After this step, you should - have the following two files (the directory structure should be preserved): - - plugin/taglist.vim - main taglist plugin file - doc/taglist.txt - documentation (help) file - - Refer to the |add-plugin|and |'runtimepath'| Vim help pages for more - details about installing Vim plugins. -2. Change to the $HOME/.vim/doc or $HOME/vimfiles/doc or $VIM/vimfiles/doc - directory, start Vim and run the ":helptags ." command to process the - taglist help file. Without this step, you cannot jump to the taglist help - topics. -3. If the exuberant ctags utility is not present in one of the directories in - the PATH environment variable, then set the 'Tlist_Ctags_Cmd' variable to - point to the location of the exuberant ctags utility (not to the directory) - in the .vimrc file. -4. If you are running a terminal/console version of Vim and the terminal - doesn't support changing the window width then set the - 'Tlist_Inc_Winwidth' variable to 0 in the .vimrc file. -5. Restart Vim. -6. You can now use the ":TlistToggle" command to open/close the taglist - window. You can use the ":help taglist" command to get more information - about using the taglist plugin. - -To uninstall the taglist plugin, remove the plugin/taglist.vim and -doc/taglist.txt files from the $HOME/.vim or $HOME/vimfiles directory. - -============================================================================== - *taglist-using* -5. Usage~ - -The taglist plugin can be used in several different ways. - -1. You can keep the taglist window open during the entire editing session. On - opening the taglist window, the tags defined in all the files in the Vim - buffer list will be displayed in the taglist window. As you edit files, the - tags defined in them will be added to the taglist window. You can select a - tag from the taglist window and jump to it. The current tag will be - highlighted in the taglist window. You can close the taglist window when - you no longer need the window. -2. You can configure the taglist plugin to process the tags defined in all the - edited files always. In this configuration, even if the taglist window is - closed and the taglist menu is not displayed, the taglist plugin will - processes the tags defined in newly edited files. You can then open the - taglist window only when you need to select a tag and then automatically - close the taglist window after selecting the tag. -3. You can configure the taglist plugin to display only the tags defined in - the current file in the taglist window. By default, the taglist plugin - displays the tags defined in all the files in the Vim buffer list. As you - switch between files, the taglist window will be refreshed to display only - the tags defined in the current file. -4. In GUI Vim, you can use the Tags pull-down and popup menu created by the - taglist plugin to display the tags defined in the current file and select a - tag to jump to it. You can use the menu without opening the taglist window. - By default, the Tags menu is disabled. -5. You can configure the taglist plugin to display the name of the current tag - in the Vim window status line or in the Vim window title bar. For this to - work without the taglist window or menu, you need to configure the taglist - plugin to process the tags defined in a file always. -6. You can save the tags defined in multiple files to a taglist session file - and load it when needed. You can also configure the taglist plugin to not - update the taglist window when editing new files. You can then manually add - files to the taglist window. - -Opening the taglist window~ -You can open the taglist window using the ":TlistOpen" or the ":TlistToggle" -commands. The ":TlistOpen" command opens the taglist window and jumps to it. -The ":TlistToggle" command opens or closes (toggle) the taglist window and the -cursor remains in the current window. If the 'Tlist_GainFocus_On_ToggleOpen' -variable is set to 1, then the ":TlistToggle" command opens the taglist window -and moves the cursor to the taglist window. - -You can map a key to invoke these commands. For example, the following command -creates a normal mode mapping for the <F8> key to toggle the taglist window. -> - nnoremap <silent> <F8> :TlistToggle<CR> -< -Add the above mapping to your ~/.vimrc or $HOME/_vimrc file. - -To automatically open the taglist window on Vim startup, set the -'Tlist_Auto_Open' variable to 1. - -You can also open the taglist window on startup using the following command -line: -> - $ vim +TlistOpen -< -Closing the taglist window~ -You can close the taglist window from the taglist window by pressing 'q' or -using the Vim ":q" command. You can also use any of the Vim window commands to -close the taglist window. Invoking the ":TlistToggle" command when the taglist -window is opened, closes the taglist window. You can also use the -":TlistClose" command to close the taglist window. - -To automatically close the taglist window when a tag or file is selected, you -can set the 'Tlist_Close_On_Select' variable to 1. To exit Vim when only the -taglist window is present, set the 'Tlist_Exit_OnlyWindow' variable to 1. - -Jumping to a tag or a file~ -You can select a tag in the taglist window either by pressing the <Enter> key -or by double clicking the tag name using the mouse. To jump to a tag on a -single mouse click set the 'Tlist_Use_SingleClick' variable to 1. - -If the selected file is already opened in a window, then the cursor is moved -to that window. If the file is not currently opened in a window then the file -is opened in the window used by the taglist plugin to show the previously -selected file. If there are no usable windows, then the file is opened in a -new window. The file is not opened in special windows like the quickfix -window, preview window and windows containing buffer with the 'buftype' option -set. - -To jump to the tag in a new window, press the 'o' key. To open the file in the -previous window (Ctrl-W_p) use the 'P' key. You can press the 'p' key to jump -to the tag but still keep the cursor in the taglist window (preview). - -To open the selected file in a tab, use the 't' key. If the file is already -present in a tab then the cursor is moved to that tab otherwise the file is -opened in a new tab. To jump to a tag in a new tab press Ctrl-t. The taglist -window is automatically opened in the newly created tab. - -Instead of jumping to a tag, you can open a file by pressing the <Enter> key -or by double clicking the file name using the mouse. - -In the taglist window, you can use the [[ or <Backspace> key to jump to the -beginning of the previous file. You can use the ]] or <Tab> key to jump to the -beginning of the next file. When you reach the first or last file, the search -wraps around and the jumps to the next/previous file. - -Highlighting the current tag~ -The taglist plugin automatically highlights the name of the current tag in the -taglist window. The Vim |CursorHold| autocmd event is used for this. If the -current tag name is not visible in the taglist window, then the taglist window -contents are scrolled to make that tag name visible. You can also use the -":TlistHighlightTag" command to force the highlighting of the current tag. - -The tag name is highlighted if no activity is performed for |'updatetime'| -milliseconds. The default value for this Vim option is 4 seconds. To avoid -unexpected problems, you should not set the |'updatetime'| option to a very -low value. - -To disable the automatic highlighting of the current tag name in the taglist -window, set the 'Tlist_Auto_Highlight_Tag' variable to zero. - -When entering a Vim buffer/window, the taglist plugin automatically highlights -the current tag in that buffer/window. If you like to disable the automatic -highlighting of the current tag when entering a buffer, set the -'Tlist_Highlight_Tag_On_BufEnter' variable to zero. - -Adding files to the taglist~ -When the taglist window is opened, all the files in the Vim buffer list are -processed and the supported files are added to the taglist. When you edit a -file in Vim, the taglist plugin automatically processes this file and adds it -to the taglist. If you close the taglist window, the tag information in the -taglist is retained. - -To process files even when the taglist window is not open, set the -'Tlist_Process_File_Always' variable to 1. - -You can manually add multiple files to the taglist without opening them using -the ":TlistAddFiles" and the ":TlistAddFilesRecursive" commands. - -For example, to add all the C files in the /my/project/dir directory to the -taglist, you can use the following command: -> - :TlistAddFiles /my/project/dir/*.c -< -Note that when adding several files with a large number of tags or a large -number of files, it will take several seconds to several minutes for the -taglist plugin to process all the files. You should not interrupt the taglist -plugin by pressing <CTRL-C>. - -You can recursively add multiple files from a directory tree using the -":TlistAddFilesRecursive" command: -> - :TlistAddFilesRecursive /my/project/dir *.c -< -This command takes two arguments. The first argument specifies the directory -from which to recursively add the files. The second optional argument -specifies the wildcard matching pattern for selecting the files to add. The -default pattern is * and all the files are added. - -Displaying tags for only one file~ -The taglist window displays the tags for all the files in the Vim buffer list -and all the manually added files. To display the tags for only the current -active buffer, set the 'Tlist_Show_One_File' variable to 1. - -Removing files from the taglist~ -You can remove a file from the taglist window, by pressing the 'd' key when the -cursor is on one of the tags listed for the file in the taglist window. The -removed file will no longer be displayed in the taglist window in the current -Vim session. To again display the tags for the file, open the file in a Vim -window and then use the ":TlistUpdate" command or use ":TlistAddFiles" command -to add the file to the taglist. - -When a buffer is removed from the Vim buffer list using the ":bdelete" or the -":bwipeout" command, the taglist is updated to remove the stored information -for this buffer. - -Updating the tags displayed for a file~ -The taglist plugin keeps track of the modification time of a file. When the -modification time changes (the file is modified), the taglist plugin -automatically updates the tags listed for that file. The modification time of -a file is checked when you enter a window containing that file or when you -load that file. - -You can also update or refresh the tags displayed for a file by pressing the -"u" key in the taglist window. If an existing file is modified, after the file -is saved, the taglist plugin automatically updates the tags displayed for the -file. - -You can also use the ":TlistUpdate" command to update the tags for the current -buffer after you made some changes to it. You should save the modified buffer -before you update the taglist window. Otherwise the listed tags will not -include the new tags created in the buffer. - -If you have deleted the tags displayed for a file in the taglist window using -the 'd' key, you can again display the tags for that file using the -":TlistUpdate" command. - -Controlling the taglist updates~ -To disable the automatic processing of new files or modified files, you can -set the 'Tlist_Auto_Update' variable to zero. When this variable is set to -zero, the taglist is updated only when you use the ":TlistUpdate" command or -the ":TlistAddFiles" or the ":TlistAddFilesRecursive" commands. You can use -this option to control which files are added to the taglist. - -You can use the ":TlistLock" command to lock the taglist contents. After this -command is executed, new files are not automatically added to the taglist. -When the taglist is locked, you can use the ":TlistUpdate" command to add the -current file or the ":TlistAddFiles" or ":TlistAddFilesRecursive" commands to -add new files to the taglist. To unlock the taglist, use the ":TlistUnlock" -command. - -Displaying the tag prototype~ -To display the prototype of the tag under the cursor in the taglist window, -press the space bar. If you place the cursor on a tag name in the taglist -window, then the tag prototype is displayed at the Vim status line after -|'updatetime'| milliseconds. The default value for the |'updatetime'| Vim -option is 4 seconds. - -You can get the name and prototype of a tag without opening the taglist window -and the taglist menu using the ":TlistShowTag" and the ":TlistShowPrototype" -commands. These commands will work only if the current file is already present -in the taglist. To use these commands without opening the taglist window, set -the 'Tlist_Process_File_Always' variable to 1. - -You can use the ":TlistShowTag" command to display the name of the tag at or -before the specified line number in the specified file. If the file name and -line number are not supplied, then this command will display the name of the -current tag. For example, -> - :TlistShowTag - :TlistShowTag myfile.java 100 -< -You can use the ":TlistShowPrototype" command to display the prototype of the -tag at or before the specified line number in the specified file. If the file -name and the line number are not supplied, then this command will display the -prototype of the current tag. For example, -> - :TlistShowPrototype - :TlistShowPrototype myfile.c 50 -< -In the taglist window, when the mouse is moved over a tag name, the tag -prototype is displayed in a balloon. This works only in GUI versions where -balloon evaluation is supported. - -Taglist window contents~ -The taglist window contains the tags defined in various files in the taglist -grouped by the filename and by the tag type (variable, function, class, etc.). -For tags with scope information (like class members, structures inside -structures, etc.), the scope information is displayed in square brackets "[]" -after the tag name. - -The contents of the taglist buffer/window are managed by the taglist plugin. -The |'filetype'| for the taglist buffer is set to 'taglist'. The Vim -|'modifiable'| option is turned off for the taglist buffer. You should not -manually edit the taglist buffer, by setting the |'modifiable'| flag. If you -manually edit the taglist buffer contents, then the taglist plugin will be out -of sync with the taglist buffer contents and the plugin will no longer work -correctly. To redisplay the taglist buffer contents again, close the taglist -window and reopen it. - -Opening and closing the tag and file tree~ -In the taglist window, the tag names are displayed as a foldable tree using -the Vim folding support. You can collapse the tree using the '-' key or using -the Vim |zc| fold command. You can open the tree using the '+' key or using -the Vim |zo| fold command. You can open all the folds using the '*' key or -using the Vim |zR| fold command. You can also use the mouse to open/close the -folds. You can close all the folds using the '=' key. You should not manually -create or delete the folds in the taglist window. - -To automatically close the fold for the inactive files/buffers and open only -the fold for the current buffer in the taglist window, set the -'Tlist_File_Fold_Auto_Close' variable to 1. - -Sorting the tags for a file~ -The tags displayed in the taglist window can be sorted either by their name or -by their chronological order. The default sorting method is by the order in -which the tags appear in a file. You can change the default sort method by -setting the 'Tlist_Sort_Type' variable to either "name" or "order". You can -sort the tags by their name by pressing the "s" key in the taglist window. You -can again sort the tags by their chronological order using the "s" key. Each -file in the taglist window can be sorted using different order. - -Zooming in and out of the taglist window~ -You can press the 'x' key in the taglist window to maximize the taglist -window width/height. The window will be maximized to the maximum possible -width/height without closing the other existing windows. You can again press -'x' to restore the taglist window to the default width/height. - - *taglist-session* -Taglist Session~ -A taglist session refers to the group of files and their tags stored in the -taglist in a Vim session. - -You can save and restore a taglist session (and all the displayed tags) using -the ":TlistSessionSave" and ":TlistSessionLoad" commands. - -To save the information about the tags and files in the taglist to a file, use -the ":TlistSessionSave" command and specify the filename: -> - :TlistSessionSave <file name> -< -To load a saved taglist session, use the ":TlistSessionLoad" command: > - - :TlistSessionLoad <file name> -< -When you load a taglist session file, the tags stored in the file will be -added to the tags already stored in the taglist. - -The taglist session feature can be used to save the tags for large files or a -group of frequently used files (like a project). By using the taglist session -file, you can minimize the amount to time it takes to load/refresh the taglist -for multiple files. - -You can create more than one taglist session file for multiple groups of -files. - -Displaying the tag name in the Vim status line or the window title bar~ -You can use the Tlist_Get_Tagname_By_Line() function provided by the taglist -plugin to display the current tag name in the Vim status line or the window -title bar. Similarly, you can use the Tlist_Get_Tag_Prototype_By_Line() -function to display the current tag prototype in the Vim status line or the -window title bar. - -For example, the following command can be used to display the current tag name -in the status line: -> - :set statusline=%<%f%=%([%{Tlist_Get_Tagname_By_Line()}]%) -< -The following command can be used to display the current tag name in the -window title bar: -> - :set title titlestring=%<%f\ %([%{Tlist_Get_Tagname_By_Line()}]%) -< -Note that the current tag name can be displayed only after the file is -processed by the taglist plugin. For this, you have to either set the -'Tlist_Process_File_Always' variable to 1 or open the taglist window or use -the taglist menu. For more information about configuring the Vim status line, -refer to the documentation for the Vim |'statusline'| option. - -Changing the taglist window highlighting~ -The following Vim highlight groups are defined and used to highlight the -various entities in the taglist window: - - TagListTagName - Used for tag names - TagListTagScope - Used for tag scope - TagListTitle - Used for tag titles - TagListComment - Used for comments - TagListFileName - Used for filenames - -By default, these highlight groups are linked to the standard Vim highlight -groups. If you want to change the colors used for these highlight groups, -prefix the highlight group name with 'My' and define it in your .vimrc or -.gvimrc file: MyTagListTagName, MyTagListTagScope, MyTagListTitle, -MyTagListComment and MyTagListFileName. For example, to change the colors -used for tag names, you can use the following command: -> - :highlight MyTagListTagName guifg=blue ctermfg=blue -< -Controlling the taglist window~ -To use a horizontally split taglist window, instead of a vertically split -window, set the 'Tlist_Use_Horiz_Window' variable to 1. - -To use a vertically split taglist window on the rightmost side of the Vim -window, set the 'Tlist_Use_Right_Window' variable to 1. - -You can specify the width of the vertically split taglist window, by setting -the 'Tlist_WinWidth' variable. You can specify the height of the horizontally -split taglist window, by setting the 'Tlist_WinHeight' variable. - -When opening a vertically split taglist window, the Vim window width is -increased to accommodate the new taglist window. When the taglist window is -closed, the Vim window is reduced. To disable this, set the -'Tlist_Inc_Winwidth' variable to zero. - -To reduce the number of empty lines in the taglist window, set the -'Tlist_Compact_Format' variable to 1. - -To not display the Vim fold column in the taglist window, set the -'Tlist_Enable_Fold_Column' variable to zero. - -To display the tag prototypes instead of the tag names in the taglist window, -set the 'Tlist_Display_Prototype' variable to 1. - -To not display the scope of the tags next to the tag names, set the -'Tlist_Display_Tag_Scope' variable to zero. - - *taglist-keys* -Taglist window key list~ -The following table lists the description of the keys that can be used -in the taglist window. - - Key Description~ - - <CR> Jump to the location where the tag under cursor is - defined. - o Jump to the location where the tag under cursor is - defined in a new window. - P Jump to the tag in the previous (Ctrl-W_p) window. - p Display the tag definition in the file window and - keep the cursor in the taglist window itself. - t Jump to the tag in a new tab. If the file is already - opened in a tab, move to that tab. - Ctrl-t Jump to the tag in a new tab. - <Space> Display the prototype of the tag under the cursor. - For file names, display the full path to the file, - file type and the number of tags. For tag types, display the - tag type and the number of tags. - u Update the tags listed in the taglist window - s Change the sort order of the tags (by name or by order) - d Remove the tags for the file under the cursor - x Zoom-in or Zoom-out the taglist window - + Open a fold - - Close a fold - * Open all folds - = Close all folds - [[ Jump to the beginning of the previous file - <Backspace> Jump to the beginning of the previous file - ]] Jump to the beginning of the next file - <Tab> Jump to the beginning of the next file - q Close the taglist window - <F1> Display help - -The above keys will work in both the normal mode and the insert mode. - - *taglist-menu* -Taglist menu~ -When using GUI Vim, the taglist plugin can display the tags defined in the -current file in the drop-down menu and the popup menu. By default, this -feature is turned off. To turn on this feature, set the 'Tlist_Show_Menu' -variable to 1. - -You can jump to a tag by selecting the tag name from the menu. You can use the -taglist menu independent of the taglist window i.e. you don't need to open the -taglist window to get the taglist menu. - -When you switch between files/buffers, the taglist menu is automatically -updated to display the tags defined in the current file/buffer. - -The tags are grouped by their type (variables, functions, classes, methods, -etc.) and displayed as a separate sub-menu for each type. If all the tags -defined in a file are of the same type (e.g. functions), then the sub-menu is -not used. - -If the number of items in a tag type submenu exceeds the value specified by -the 'Tlist_Max_Submenu_Items' variable, then the submenu will be split into -multiple submenus. The default setting for 'Tlist_Max_Submenu_Items' is 25. -The first and last tag names in the submenu are used to form the submenu name. -The menu items are prefixed by alpha-numeric characters for easy selection by -keyboard. - -If the popup menu support is enabled (the |'mousemodel'| option contains -"popup"), then the tags menu is added to the popup menu. You can access -the popup menu by right clicking on the GUI window. - -You can regenerate the tags menu by selecting the 'Tags->Refresh menu' entry. -You can sort the tags listed in the menu either by name or by order by -selecting the 'Tags->Sort menu by->Name/Order' menu entry. - -You can tear-off the Tags menu and keep it on the side of the Vim window -for quickly locating the tags. - -Using the taglist plugin with the winmanager plugin~ -You can use the taglist plugin with the winmanager plugin. This will allow you -to use the file explorer, buffer explorer and the taglist plugin at the same -time in different windows. To use the taglist plugin with the winmanager -plugin, set 'TagList' in the 'winManagerWindowLayout' variable. For example, -to use the file explorer plugin and the taglist plugin at the same time, use -the following setting: > - - let winManagerWindowLayout = 'FileExplorer|TagList' -< -Getting help~ -If you have installed the taglist help file (this file), then you can use the -Vim ":help taglist-<keyword>" command to get help on the various taglist -topics. - -You can press the <F1> key in the taglist window to display the help -information about using the taglist window. If you again press the <F1> key, -the help information is removed from the taglist window. - - *taglist-debug* -Debugging the taglist plugin~ -You can use the ":TlistDebug" command to enable logging of the debug messages -from the taglist plugin. To display the logged debug messages, you can use the -":TlistMessages" command. To disable the logging of the debug messages, use -the ":TlistUndebug" command. - -You can specify a file name to the ":TlistDebug" command to log the debug -messages to a file. Otherwise, the debug messages are stored in a script-local -variable. In the later case, to minimize memory usage, only the last 3000 -characters from the debug messages are stored. - -============================================================================== - *taglist-options* -6. Options~ - -A number of Vim variables control the behavior of the taglist plugin. These -variables are initialized to a default value.

If exuberant ctags is present in any one of the directories in -the PATH environment variable, then there is no need to set this variable. - -The exuberant ctags tool can be installed under different names. When the -taglist plugin starts up, if the 'Tlist_Ctags_Cmd' variable is not set, it -checks for the names exuberant-ctags, exctags, ctags, ctags.exe and tags in -the PATH environment variable. If any one of the named executable is found, -then the Tlist_Ctags_Cmd variable is set to that name. - -If exuberant ctags is not present in one of the directories specified in the -PATH environment variable, then set this variable to point to the location of -the ctags utility in your system. Note that this variable should point to the -fully qualified exuberant ctags location and NOT to the directory in which -exuberant ctags is installed. If the exuberant ctags tool is not found in -either PATH or in the specified location, then the taglist plugin will not be -loaded.

If you don't want the tag scopes -to be displayed, then set the 'Tlist_Display_Tag_Scope' to zero. By default, -this variable is set to 1 and the tag scopes will be displayed. -> - let Tlist_Display_Tag_Scope = 0 -< - *'Tlist_Enable_Fold_Column'* -Tlist_Enable_Fold_Column~ -By default, the Vim fold column is enabled and displayed in the taglist -window. If you wish to disable this (for example, when you are working with a -narrow Vim window or terminal), you can set the 'Tlist_Enable_Fold_Column' -variable to zero. -> - let Tlist_Enable_Fold_Column = 1 -< - *'Tlist_Exit_OnlyWindow'* -Tlist_Exit_OnlyWindow~ -If you want to exit Vim if only the taglist window is currently opened, then -set the 'Tlist_Exit_OnlyWindow' variable to 1.

You can close/fold the tags tree for the files manually. To -automatically close the tags tree for inactive files, you can set the -'Tlist_File_Fold_Auto_Close' variable to 1. When this variable is set to 1, -the tags tree for the current buffer is automatically opened and for all the -other buffers is closed. -> - let Tlist_File_Fold_Auto_Close = 1 -< - *'Tlist_GainFocus_On_ToggleOpen'* -Tlist_GainFocus_On_ToggleOpen~ -When the taglist window is opened using the ':TlistToggle' command, this -option controls whether the cursor is moved to the taglist window or remains -in the current window. By default, this option is set to 0 and the cursor -remains in the current window. When this variable is set to 1, the cursor -moves to the taglist window after opening the taglist window. -> - let Tlist_GainFocus_On_ToggleOpen = 1 -< - *'Tlist_Highlight_Tag_On_BufEnter'* -Tlist_Highlight_Tag_On_BufEnter~ -When you enter a Vim buffer/window, the current tag in that buffer/window is -automatically highlighted in the taglist window. If the current tag name is -not visible in the taglist window, then the taglist window contents are -scrolled to make that tag name visible. If you like to disable the automatic -highlighting of the current tag when entering a buffer, you can set the -'Tlist_Highlight_Tag_On_BufEnter' variable to zero. The default setting for -this variable is 1. -> - let Tlist_Highlight_Tag_On_BufEnter = 0 -< - *'Tlist_Inc_Winwidth'* -Tlist_Inc_Winwidth~ -By default, when the width of the window is less than 100 and a new taglist -window is opened vertically, then the window width is increased by the value -set in the 'Tlist_WinWidth' variable to accommodate the new window. The value -of this variable is used only if you are using a vertically split taglist -window. - -If your terminal doesn't support changing the window width from Vim (older -version of xterm running in a Unix system) or if you see any weird problems in -the screen due to the change in the window width or if you prefer not to -adjust the window width then set the 'Tlist_Inc_Winwidth' variable to zero. -CAUTION: If you are using the MS-Windows version of Vim in a MS-DOS command -window then you must set this variable to zero, otherwise the system may hang -due to a Vim limitation (explained in :help win32-problems) -> - let Tlist_Inc_Winwidth = 0 -< - *'Tlist_Max_Submenu_Items'* -Tlist_Max_Submenu_Items~ -If a file contains too many tags of a particular type (function, variable, -class, etc.), greater than that specified by the 'Tlist_Max_Submenu_Items' -va |
