# Tagbar: a class outline viewer for Vim
|
|
|
|
## What Tagbar is
|
|
|
|
Tagbar is a Vim plugin that provides an easy way to browse the tags of the
|
|
current file and get an overview of its structure. It does this by creating a
|
|
sidebar that displays the ctags-generated tags of the current file, ordered by
|
|
their scope. This means that for example methods in C++ are displayed under
|
|
the class they are defined in.
|
|
|
|
## What Tagbar is not
|
|
|
|
Tagbar is not a general-purpose tool for managing `tags` files. It only
|
|
creates the tags it needs on-the-fly in-memory without creating any files.
|
|
`tags` file management is provided by other plugins, like for example
|
|
[easytags](https://github.com/xolox/vim-easytags).
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
[Vim 7.3.1058](http://www.vim.org/)
|
|
[Exuberant Ctags 5.5](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/) or
|
|
[Universal Ctags](https://ctags.io) (recommended), a maintained fork of
|
|
Exuberant Ctags.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Extract the archive or clone the repository into a directory in your
|
|
`'runtimepath'`, or use a plugin manager of your choice like
|
|
[pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen). Don't forget to run
|
|
`:helptags` if your plugin manager doesn't do it for you so you can access the
|
|
documentation with `:help tagbar`.
|
|
|
|
If the ctags executable is not installed in one of the directories in your
|
|
`$PATH` environment variable you have to set the `g:tagbar_ctags_bin`
|
|
variable, see the documentation for more info.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
Put something like the following into your ~/.vimrc:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
nmap <F8> :TagbarToggle<CR>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you do this the F8 key will toggle the Tagbar window. You can of course use
|
|
any shortcut you want. For more flexible ways to open and close the window
|
|
(and the rest of the functionality) see the documentation.
|
|
|
|
## Support for additional filetypes
|
|
|
|
For filetypes that are not supported by Exuberant Ctags check out [the
|
|
wiki](https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar/wiki) to see whether other projects
|
|
offer support for them and how to use them. Please add any other
|
|
projects/configurations that you find or create yourself so that others can
|
|
benefit from them, too.
|
|
|
|
## Note: If the file structure display is wrong
|
|
|
|
If you notice that there are some errors in the way your file's structure is
|
|
displayed in Tagbar, please make sure that the bug is actually in Tagbar
|
|
before you report an issue. Since Tagbar uses
|
|
[exuberant-ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/) and compatible programs to do
|
|
the actual file parsing, it is likely that the bug is actually in the program
|
|
responsible for that filetype instead.
|
|
|
|
There is an example in `:h tagbar-issues` about how to run ctags manually so
|
|
you can determine where the bug actually is. If the bug is actually in ctags,
|
|
please report it on their website instead, as there is nothing I can do about
|
|
it in Tagbar. Thank you!
|
|
|
|
You can also have a look at [ctags bugs that have previously been filed
|
|
against Tagbar](https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar/issues?labels=ctags-bug&page=1&state=closed).
