[julia-users] Re: custom ctags for Julia

[Christof Stocker]

I made myself a custom one based on the one from the julia repo. Basically 
I seperated the big one into multiple categories and also allow functions 
to be marked inline

I posted a gist of it for those interested

Thanks Christof,

I've been meaning to get around to doing this myself, so you've saved me 
some time. I'm testing it out right now.

Cheers,
Dan

I gave this ago and my experience was:

TagBar worked and looked great!

jump to tag (C-] in vim) did not work. This seemed to be a result of 
including the parameters in the tag. If I manually removed them from the 
tags file, tag jumping would start working again. I won't pretend to know 
the internals of what VIM and TagBar are doing differently here. I haven't 
had time to dig any deeper.

Cheers,
Dan

Makes sense. I don't use C-], I use the CtrlP plugin to jump around in a 
project. I included the first parameter, so that CtrlP has an easier 
time finding the unique match

For the tagbar to work properly one needs to have a Julia

Sorry for the noise, which it is the right way to generate the file tags?
in .julia/ ?
with the command:

`ctags -R .`

[Christof Stocker]

To be blunt I never really bothered to investigate the "right way" to 
use ctags. I simply looked for a way that works for my use case. That 
being said, I can tell you how I use ctags.


Some page somewhere (I found it again, see the end of my post) suggested 
to use the .git directory of a project to store the tags file, which I 
thought was the best solution, given that then the tags would always be 
project specific. I use the Tags to move between files with CtrlP, so I 
liked this approach. Basically it uses local githooks to produce the tag 
file on every major git operation like commit etc.


This is the website that I followed the instructions of: 
http://tbaggery.com/2011/08/08/effortless-ctags-with-git.html
It also addresses your question about one way to call ctags (which works 
for me at least).
