Does anyone actually understand the algorithm for selecting a location
to jump to with Alt-. ?
The documentation for find-tag-noselect says:
When there are multiple matches for a tag, more exact matches are found first.
But, I've frequently seen Alt-. to jump to a differently capitalized version
of the symbol under point first, even when there's an exact match available.
I thought the following hack would fix it:
(defadvice tag-exact-match-p (around tag-exact-case-sensitive
activate compile)
"Exact means exact, ie. case-sensitive."
(let ((case-fold-search nil))
ad-do-it))
But _no_, it still happens <groan>. This is actually a longstanding gripe
which made me abandon tags in favor of other similar mechanisms like imenu
and id-utils. But tags do have some endearing qualities, and there's the
mystery aspect of the situation. So, how to make the exact match to be
selected first, _always_?
