Bit of a non-specific bug report, sorry. When I press F5, the little window opens. Except it will always be empty since I don't have any tag files. I was hoping for some configuration items. 1. Check if any tags are available 2. If not, check if &path is useful 3. If not, use $PATH (convert format where appropriate). Or allow me to specify this from within my vimrc. > Are you talking about running globpath()? This is possible, > but won't recognize path entries with "**" etc..
