Using ctags in vim

Previously, I shared a method to have git create a ctags file for you. Now we need to use our tags.


Using ctags in vim from Bryan Liles on Vimeo.

Not-so-complete cheat sheet:

^] – find a tag

^T – go backwards

:tags – show where you’ve been

:tag – go somewhere in your tag stack

:tselect or g] – show where something is referenced

^W-] – find a tag in a split window

You can also have a look at the vim help by running: help :tags
