* Add JumpToNearbyTag functionality Closes #779 Updated functions: `s:GetNearbyTag()` - Allow for a direction parameter to be passed into the routine. This will allow for a forward or backward search. It will default to a backward search line the current behavior if the `a:direction` parameter is not used. `s:JumpToTag()` - Allow for an optional parameter to be passed in to specify the tag instead of using the tag under the cursor on the current line. This also allows this routine to be executed from the file window instead of the tagbar window. Assume `autoclose=0` if passing in the tag. Add new functions: `s:JumpToNearbyTag()` - This routine will do a forward or backward search for the nearst tag using the `GetNearbyTag()` with the new direction field, then call the `JumpToTag()` with the tag we found. `tagbar#jumpToNextTag()` - New public facing wrapper routine around the `JumpToNearbyTag()` routine. Optionally take in `a:lnum` and `a:search_method` to be used in other routines. If `a:lnum` is not present, then the line number will search from the next or previous line depending on the `a:direction` value. TODO: - [ ] Still need to write up the documentation for this. - [ ] Possibly look at providing default keymap. Currently this can be done using a custom definition in `.vimrc`. * Add documentation and fix lazy scroll Added documentation for this feature Corrected the lazy scroll behavior when the next/prev tag is visible Use the existing `w:autoclose` if set, else default to 0. * Fix argument ordering Correct the argument ordering and numbering for the jumpToNearbyTag() routine. Add documentation example for the 'nearest' search-method. Rename jumpToNextTag() to jumpToNearbyTag() to be more inline with the other routines. * remove debug * Fix current line processing In the event there is a tag on the immediately previous/next line, then the GetNearbyTag will return that tag even if the scoped-stl search-method is set. * Cleanup optional argument initialization * Update tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag() - remove lnum and add flags parameter Changes to the tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag() routine to allow more flexibility. Removing the optional lnum parameter as this likely will not be needed and could actually cause confusion in its use. Add a flags field so different options can be set such as the 's':'scroll_offset' option.

1. Intro *tagbar-intro*
|
|
|
|
Tagbar is a plugin for browsing the tags of source code files. It provides 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.
|
|
|
|
Let's say we have the following code inside of a C++ file:
|
|
>
|
|
namespace {
|
|
char a;
|
|
|
|
class Foo
|
|
{
|
|
public:
|
|
Foo();
|
|
~Foo();
|
|
private:
|
|
int var;
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
<
|
|
Then Tagbar would display the tag information like so:
|
|
>
|
|
__anon1* : namespace
|
|
Foo : class
|
|
+Foo()
|
|
+~Foo()
|
|
-var
|
|
a
|
|
<
|
|
This example shows several important points. First, the tags are listed
|
|
indented below the scope they are defined in. Second, the type of a scope is
|
|
listed after its name and a colon. Third, tags for which the visibility
|
|
information is known are prefixed with a symbol indicating that.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
PSEUDO-TAGS *tagbar-pseudotags*
|
|
|
|
The example also introduces the concept of "pseudo-tags". Pseudo-tags are tags
|
|
that are not explicitly defined in the file but have children in it. In this
|
|
example the namespace doesn't have a name and thus ctags doesn't generate a
|
|
tag for it, but since it has children it still needs to be displayed using an
|
|
auto-generated name.
|
|
|
|
Another case where pseudo-tags appear is in C++ implementation files. Since
|
|
classes are usually defined in a header file but the member methods and
|
|
variables are in the implementation file the class itself won't generate a tag
|
|
in that file.
|
|
|
|
Since pseudo-tags don't really exist they cannot be jumped to from the Tagbar
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
Pseudo-tags are denoted with an asterisk ('*') at the end of their name.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
SUPPORTED FEATURES *tagbar-features*
|
|
|
|
The following features are supported by Tagbar:
|
|
|
|
- Display tags under their correct scope.
|
|
- Automatically update the tags when switching between buffers and editing
|
|
files.
|
|
- Display visibility information of tags if available.
|
|
- Highlight the tag near the cursor while editing files.
|
|
- Jump to a tag from the Tagbar window.
|
|
- Display the complete prototype of a tag.
|
|
- Tags can be sorted either by name or order of appearance in the file.
|
|
- Scopes can be folded to hide uninteresting information.
|
|
- Supports all of the languages that ctags does, i.e. Ant, Assembler, ASP,
|
|
Awk, Basic, BETA, C, C++, C#, COBOL, DosBatch, Eiffel, Erlang, Flex,
|
|
Fortran, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Lisp, Lua, Make, MatLab, OCaml, Pascal,
|
|
Perl, PHP, Python, REXX, Ruby, Scheme, Shell script, SLang, SML, SQL, Tcl,
|
|
Tex, Vera, Verilog, VHDL, Vim and YACC.
|
|
- Additional languages are supported through universal-ctags, including
|
|
CUDA, R, Rust, Go, and many others. See
|
|
https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/blob/master/docs/news.rst#new-parsers
|
|
for the complete list.
|
|
- Can be extended to support arbitrary new types.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
OTHER CTAGS-COMPATIBLE PROGRAMS *tagbar-other*
|
|
|
|
Tagbar also supports filetype-specific programs that can produce
|
|
ctags-compatible output, as long as these programs can write to the standard
|
|
output. Tagbar has been tested with doctorjs/jsctags and will use that if
|
|
present, other programs require some configuration (see |tagbar-extend|). If a
|
|
program does not work even with correct configuration please contact me.
|
|
|
|
Note: Please check |tagbar-issues| for some potential issues with jsctags.
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
2. Requirements *tagbar-requirements*
|
|
|
|
The following requirements have to be met in order to be able to use tagbar:
|
|
|
|
- Vim 7.0 or higher. Older versions will not work since Tagbar uses data
|
|
structures that were only introduced in Vim 7.
|
|
- At a minimum Exuberant Ctags >= 5.5, or (highly recommended) any version
|
|
of Universal Ctags which is a currently maintained fork of Exuberant Ctags
|
|
with many bugfixes, support for many more formats, and proper Unicode
|
|
support. Some additional formats can also be handled by other providers
|
|
such as jsctags, phpctags, or others.
|
|
|
|
Universal Ctags can be downloaded from https://ctags.io/
|
|
|
|
Tagbar will work on any platform that ctags runs on -- this includes
|
|
UNIX derivatives, Mac OS X and Windows. Note that other versions like
|
|
BSD ctags will not work.
|
|
Tagbar generates the tag information by itself and doesn't need (or use)
|
|
already existing tag files.
|
|
- File type detection must be turned on in vim. This can be done with the
|
|
following command in your vimrc:
|
|
>
|
|
filetype on
|
|
<
|
|
See |filetype| for more information.
|
|
- Tagbar will not work in |restricted-mode| or with 'compatible' set.
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
3. Installation *tagbar-installation*
|
|
|
|
Use the normal Vimball install method for installing tagbar.vba:
|
|
>
|
|
vim tagbar.vba
|
|
:so %
|
|
:q
|
|
<
|
|
Alternatively you can clone the git repository and then add the path to
|
|
'runtimepath' or use the pathogen plugin. Don't forget to run |:helptags|.
|
|
|
|
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 |g:tagbar_ctags_bin|.
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
4. Usage *tagbar-usage*
|
|
|
|
There are essentially two ways to use Tagbar:
|
|
|
|
1. Have it running all the time in a window on the side of the screen. In
|
|
this case Tagbar will update its contents whenever the source file is
|
|
changed and highlight the tag the cursor is currently on in the file. If
|
|
a tag is selected in Tagbar the file window will jump to the tag and the
|
|
Tagbar window will stay open. |g:tagbar_autoclose| has to be unset for
|
|
this mode.
|
|
2. Only open Tagbar when you want to jump to a specific tag and have it
|
|
close automatically once you have selected one. This can be useful for
|
|
example for small screens where a permanent window would take up too much
|
|
space. You have to set the option |g:tagbar_autoclose| in this case. The
|
|
cursor will also automatically jump to the Tagbar window when opening it.
|
|
|
|
Opening and closing the Tagbar window~
|
|
Use |:TagbarOpen| or |:TagbarToggle| to open the Tagbar window if it is
|
|
closed. By default the window is opened on the right side, set the option
|
|
|g:tagbar_position| to open it elsewhere instead. If the window is already open,
|
|
|:TagbarOpen| will jump to it and |:TagbarToggle| will close it again.
|
|
|:TagbarClose| will simply close the window if it is open.
|
|
|
|
It is probably a good idea to assign a key to these commands. For example, put
|
|
this into your |vimrc|:
|
|
>
|
|
nnoremap <silent> <F8> :TagbarToggle<CR>
|
|
<
|
|
You can then open and close Tagbar by simply pressing the <F8> key.
|
|
|
|
You can also use |:TagbarOpenAutoClose| to open the Tagbar window, jump to it
|
|
and have it close automatically on tag selection regardless of the
|
|
|g:tagbar_autoclose| setting.
|
|
|
|
Pausing the Tagbar window~
|
|
Use |:TagbarTogglePause| to toggle freezing/locking the Tagbar window on its
|
|
currently displayed file. Freezing the window stops the Tagbar contents from
|
|
changing when switching to a different source file. All Tagbar functionality
|
|
continues to work as expected. Unfreezing the window will cause it to load the
|
|
current source file.
|
|
|
|
Jumping to tags~
|
|
When you're inside the Tagbar window you can jump to the definition of a tag
|
|
by moving the cursor to a tag and pressing <Enter> or double-clicking on it
|
|
with the mouse. The source file will then move to the definition and put the
|
|
cursor in the corresponding line. This won't work for pseudo-tags.
|
|
|
|
If the current line of the tagbar window is not on a tag, for example on the
|
|
'functions' tag-kind and <Enter> is hit, then that tag-kind will be folded or
|
|
unfolded if possible.
|
|
|
|
Sorting~
|
|
You can sort the tags in the Tagbar window in two ways: by name or by file
|
|
order. Sorting them by name simply displays the tags in their alphabetical
|
|
order under their corresponding scope. Sorting by file order means that the
|
|
tags keep the order they have in the source file, but are still associated
|
|
with the correct scope. You can change the sort order by pressing the "s" key
|
|
in the Tagbar window. The current sort order is displayed in the statusline of
|
|
the Tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
Folding~
|
|
The displayed scopes (and unscoped types) can be folded to hide uninteresting
|
|
information. Mappings similar to Vim's built-in ones are provided. Folds can
|
|
also be opened and closed by clicking on the fold icon with the mouse.
|
|
|
|
Highlighting the current tag~
|
|
When the Tagbar window is open the current tag will automatically be
|
|
highlighted in it after a short pause if the cursor is not moving. The length
|
|
of this pause is determined by the 'updatetime' option. If you want to make
|
|
that pause shorter you can change the option, but don't set it too low or
|
|
strange things will happen. This is unfortunately unavoidable.
|
|
|
|
Displaying the prototype of a tag~
|
|
Tagbar can display the prototype of a tag. More precisely it can display the
|
|
line(s) in which the tag is defined. This can be done by either pressing
|
|
<Space> when on a tag or hovering over a tag with the mouse. In the former
|
|
case the prototype will be displayed in the |Command-line|, in the latter case
|
|
it will be displayed in a pop-up window. The prototype will also be displayed
|
|
if the cursor stays on a tag for 'updatetime' milliseconds. In that case the
|
|
prototype may be abbreviated in order to avoid |hit-enter| prompts.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
COMMANDS *tagbar-commands*
|
|
|
|
:TagbarOpen [{flags}] *:TagbarOpen*
|
|
Open the Tagbar window if it is closed.
|
|
|
|
Additional behaviour can be specified with the optional {flags} argument.
|
|
It is a string which can contain these character flags:
|
|
'f' Jump to Tagbar window when opening (just as if |g:tagbar_autofocus|
|
|
were set to 1)
|
|
'j' Jump to Tagbar window if already open
|
|
'c' Close Tagbar on tag selection (just as if |g:tagbar_autoclose| were
|
|
set to 1, but doesn't imply 'f'), but only if the Tagbar window was
|
|
opened using this command. If this is used the "c" flag will be
|
|
shown in the statusline of the Tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following command would always jump to the Tagbar window,
|
|
opening it first if necessary, but keep it open after selecting a tag
|
|
(unless |g:tagbar_autoclose| is set): >
|
|
:TagbarOpen fj
|
|
<
|
|
:TagbarClose *:TagbarClose*
|
|
Close the Tagbar window if it is open.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarToggle *:TagbarToggle*
|
|
:Tagbar
|
|
Open the Tagbar window if it is closed, or close it if it is open.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarOpenAutoClose *:TagbarOpenAutoClose*
|
|
Open the Tagbar window, jump to it and close it on tag selection. This is
|
|
an alias for ":TagbarOpen fjc".
|
|
|
|
:TagbarTogglePause *:TagbarTogglePause*
|
|
Freezes/Unfreezes the Tagbar window. Stops the contents of the window
|
|
from changing when a different source file is selected.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarSetFoldlevel[!] {number} *:TagbarSetFoldlevel*
|
|
Set the foldlevel of the tags of the current file to {number}. The
|
|
foldlevel of tags in other files remains unaffected. Works in the same way
|
|
as 'foldlevel'. Folds that are specified to be closed by default in the
|
|
type configuration will not be opened, use a "!" to force applying the new
|
|
foldlevel to those folds as well.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarShowTag *:TagbarShowTag*
|
|
Open the parent folds of the current tag in the file window as much as
|
|
needed for the tag to be visible in the Tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarCurrentTag [{flags}] *:TagbarCurrentTag*
|
|
Echo the current tag in the command line. For {flags} see
|
|
|tagbar-statusline|.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarGetTypeConfig {filetype} *:TagbarGetTypeConfig*
|
|
Paste the Tagbar configuration of the vim filetype {filetype} at the
|
|
current cursor position (provided that filetype is supported by Tagbar)
|
|
for easy customization. The configuration will be ready to use as is but
|
|
will only contain the "kinds" entry as that is the only one that really
|
|
makes sense to customize. See |tagbar-extend| for more information about
|
|
type configurations.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarDebug [logfile] *:TagbarDebug*
|
|
Start debug mode. This will write debug messages to file [logfile] while
|
|
using Tagbar. If no argument is given "tagbardebug.log" in the current
|
|
directory is used. Note: an existing file will be overwritten!
|
|
Note also that it is usually necessary to call this command before loading
|
|
a file that creates problems in order to get all of the needed data.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarDebugEnd *:TagbarDebugEnd*
|
|
End debug mode, debug messages will no longer be written to the logfile.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarForceUpdate *:TagbarForceUpdate*
|
|
Forcefully update a file even if it exceeds the |g:tagbar_file_size_limit|
|
|
value. This will only work for one invocation of the file processing.
|
|
After the file is processed and tags are generated, then it will re-enable
|
|
the file size limit. So if the file is written and needs to be processed
|
|
again, this command will need to be re-executed.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarJump *:TagbarJump*
|
|
Jump to the tag under the cursor. This only works while the cursor is in
|
|
the tagbar window. This will leave the cursor in the tagbar window. It is
|
|
the same behavior as the |p| key mapping.
|
|
|
|
This command will call the |tagbar#jump()| function.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarJumpPrev *:TagbarJumpPrev*
|
|
Jump to the previous tag under the cursor. This works in the file window.
|
|
This will search for the previous {'nearest-stl'} type tag starting at the
|
|
line just before the current line and do a backwards search.
|
|
|
|
This command will call the |tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag(-1)| function.
|
|
|
|
:TagbarJumpNext *:TagbarJumpNext*
|
|
Jump to the next tag under the cursor. This works in the file window.
|
|
This will search for the next {'nearest-stl'} type tag starting at the
|
|
line just after the current line and do a forward search.
|
|
|
|
This command will call the |tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag(1)| function.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
FUNCTIONS *tagbar-functions*
|
|
|
|
*tagbar#StopAutoUpdate()*
|
|
Remove autocommands that might have been installed to automatically
|
|
update tag information. This should be called after you have used
|
|
|tagbar#currenttag| manually.
|
|
|
|
*tagbar#GetTagNearLine()*
|
|
Get the current tag near the specified line number (lnum). Optionally
|
|
takes a fmt and signature specification using the same method as the
|
|
|tagbar#currenttag()| function. Defaults to GetTagNearLine(lnum, '%s', '').
|
|
|
|
This could be used in a custom foldtext function to show the current tag
|
|
the fold current fold is located in.
|
|
|
|
This function can also take in a search method similar to the
|
|
|tagbar#currenttag()| function. Full syntax is as follows:
|
|
tagbar#GetTagNearLine(lnum [, {fmt}, {flags} [, {search-method}]])
|
|
|
|
Example: >
|
|
set foldtext=MyFoldFunc()
|
|
function! MyFoldFunc()
|
|
let tag = tagbar#GetTagNearLine(v:foldend, '%s', 'p')
|
|
let lines = v:foldend - v:foldstart + 1
|
|
return tag . ' --- ' . lines . ' lines'
|
|
endfunction
|
|
<
|
|
*tagbar#ForceUpdate()*
|
|
Forcefully update a file even if it exceeds the |g:tagbar_file_size_limit|
|
|
value. This also clears the internal flags to the file will be re-examined
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
*tagbar#printfileinfo()*
|
|
This function is used in conjunction with |TagbarDebug| and will print all
|
|
the known tags into the tagbar debug logfile. This is useful for looking
|
|
at the internal tag information that tagbar tracks.
|
|
|
|
*tagbar#IsOpen()*
|
|
This function will return 1 if the tagbar window is open, else it will
|
|
return 0.
|
|
|
|
*tagbar#jump()*
|
|
Jump to the tag under the cursor. This only works while the cursor is in
|
|
the tagbar window. This will leave the cursor in the tagbar window. It is
|
|
the same behavior as the |p| key mapping.
|
|
|
|
This is the function called when using the |:TagbarJump| command.
|
|
|
|
*tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag()*
|
|
This function will jump to the next tag or previous tag starting a search
|
|
from the line under the cursor. This works when in the file window instead
|
|
of inside the tagbar window like the |tagbar#jump()| function.
|
|
|
|
The direction of search must be provided. If the [direction] is greater
|
|
than 0, then it will do a forward search. If the [direction] is less
|
|
than 0, then it will do a backward search.
|
|
|
|
Can also optionally provide a [search_method] which is used in the
|
|
|tagbar#GetTagNearLine()| function call and behaves the same way. This
|
|
will default to *'nearest-stl'* if not specified.
|
|
|
|
Can optionally provide a flags field [flags] to control the nearby tag
|
|
jumping. The flags should be a string of characters with the following
|
|
meanings:
|
|
's' - use the |g:tagbar_scroll_off| setting when jumping
|
|
|
|
Full syntax:
|
|
tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag(direction [, {search-method} [, {flags}]])
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
>
|
|
" These keymaps will jump to the next/prev tag that can be scoped. Ex:
|
|
" function calls, class definitions, etc.
|
|
nnoremap t] :call tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag(1)
|
|
nnoremap t[ :call tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag(-1)
|
|
|
|
" These keymaps will jump to the next/prev tag regardless of type. Ex:
|
|
" function calls, class definitions, variable definitions, typedefs, etc.
|
|
nnoremap t] :call tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag(1, 'nearest')
|
|
nnoremap t[ :call tagbar#jumpToNearbyTag(-1, 'nearest')
|

==============================================================================

|
5. Configuration *tagbar-configuration*
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_ctags_bin*
|
|
g:tagbar_ctags_bin~
|
|
Default: empty
|
|
|
|
Use this option to specify the location of your ctags executable. Only needed
|
|
if it is not in one of the directories in your $PATH environment variable.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_ctags_bin = 'C:\Ctags5.8\ctags.exe'
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_ctags_options*
|
|
g:tagbar_ctags_options
|
|
Default: undefined
|
|
|
|
Use this option to specify a list of filenames to pass to ctags with the
|
|
'--options' flag. This is similar to the deffile key for tagbar type
|
|
extensions, see |tagbar-extend|, but acts globally. The special value 'NONE'
|
|
as the first entry disables reading of the default configuration files (e.g.
|
|
~/.ctags). Without this, if ~/.ctags and other files listed in
|
|
g:tagbar_ctags_options include some of the same patterns, tagbar might show
|
|
duplicate entries.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_ctags_options = ['NONE', split(&rtp,",")[0].'/ctags.cnf']
|
|
|
|
This causes ctags to use settings from ~/.vim/ctags.cnf, ignoring other
|
|
configuration files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_position*
|
|
g:tagbar_position~
|
|
Default: 'botright vertical'
|
|
|
|
By default the Tagbar window will be opened on the right-hand side of vim in a
|
|
vertical split. Set this option to one of the standart vim split options such
|
|
as 'topleft', 'botright', 'leftabove', or 'rightbelow' to open in the
|
|
corresponding position instead. If desiring a vertically split window, then
|
|
include a ' vertical' in the field value as well. This can be useful when
|
|
activating Tagbar at the same time as another plugin which creates a new
|
|
window. It allows for more granular control of the Tagbar position in
|
|
relation to the current active window.
|
|
|
|
If using a vertical split, |g:tagbar_width| will be used to determine the
|
|
window width for the tagbar window. Else |g:tagbar_height| will be used to
|
|
determine the window height for the tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
See |split| for more details on window positioning.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_position = 'leftabove'
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_left*
|
|
g:tagbar_left~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
This option has been superceded by |g:tagbar_position| instead. It has been left
|
|
around for backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
By default the Tagbar window will be opened on the right-hand side of vim. Set
|
|
this option to open it on the left instead.
|
|
|
|
If |g:tagbar_vertical| is used then setting this variable will open the Tagbar
|
|
window at the top, otherwise it will open at the bottom.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_left = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_vertical*
|
|
g:tagbar_vertical~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
This option has been superceded by |g:tagbar_height| instead. It has been left
|
|
around for backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
If this is set to a positive value then the Tagbar window will be opened at
|
|
the top or bottom of the Vim window instead of at the side. This can be useful
|
|
for monitors that have been rotated into a vertical position. The value of
|
|
this variable will determine the number of lines to use for the Tagbar window.
|
|
See |g:tagbar_left| for configuring the position of the window.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_vertical = 30
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_height*
|
|
g:tagbar_height~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If |g:tagbar_position| does not include a 'vertical' option, then this
|
|
value is used to determine the height of the Tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_height = 30
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_width*
|
|
g:tagbar_width~
|
|
Default: 40
|
|
|
|
If |g:tagbar_position| does include a 'vertical' options, then this value is
|
|
used to determine the width of the Tagbar window in characters. This value can
|
|
also be set using the |winwidth(0)| function call to calculate a dynamic value
|
|
to make the tagbar width relative to a percentage of the vim window size as
|
|
seen in the example below that will open the tagbar window to 20 percent of
|
|
the window width with a limit of no less than 25 characters.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_width = max([25, winwidth(0) / 5])
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_zoomwidth*
|
|
g:tagbar_zoomwidth~
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
Width of the Tagbar window when zoomed.
|
|
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|
1: Use the maximum width available.
|
|
0: Use the width of the longest currently visible tag.
|
|
>1: Use this width in characters.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_zoomwidth = 0
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_autoclose*
|
|
g:tagbar_autoclose~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If you set this option the Tagbar window will automatically close when you
|
|
jump to a tag. This implies |g:tagbar_autofocus|. If enabled the "C" flag will
|
|
be shown in the statusline of the Tagbar window. This can also be toggled with
|
|
a key, see |tagbar-keys|.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_autoclose = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_autofocus*
|
|
g:tagbar_autofocus~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If you set this option the cursor will move to the Tagbar window when it is
|
|
opened.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_autofocus = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_sort*
|
|
g:tagbar_sort~
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
If this option is set the tags are sorted according to their name. If it is
|
|
unset they are sorted according to their order in the source file. Note that
|
|
in the second case Pseudo-tags are always sorted before normal tags of the
|
|
same kind since they don't have a real position in the file.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_sort = 0
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_case_insensitive*
|
|
g:tagbar_case_insensitive~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If this option is set a case-insensitive comparison is used when the tags
|
|
are sorted according to their name. If it is unset a case-sensitive
|
|
comparison is used.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_case_insensitive = 1
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_compact*
|
|
g:tagbar_compact~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
Setting this option will result in Tagbar omitting the short help at the
|
|
top of the window and the blank lines in between top-level scopes in order to
|
|
save screen real estate.
|
|
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|
0: Show short help and blank lines between top-level scopes
|
|
1: Don't show the short help or the blank lines.
|
|
2: Don't show the short help but show the blank lines.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_compact = 1
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_help_visibility*
|
|
g:tagbar_help_visibility~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
Setting this option will cause the full help information to be displayed all
|
|
the time in the tagbar window.
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_help_visibility = 1
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_indent*
|
|
g:tagbar_indent~
|
|
Default: 2
|
|
|
|
The number of spaces by which each level is indented. This allows making the
|
|
display more compact or more spacious.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_indent = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_show_balloon*
|
|
g:tagbar_show_balloon~
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
Whether balloon messages should be shown in the Tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|
0: Don't show any balloon messages.
|
|
1: Show balloon messages. This is only available in the GUI when
|
|
compiled with the |+balloon_eval| feature.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_show_balloon = 0
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_show_data_type*
|
|
g:tagbar_show_data_type~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
When set to non-zero, the tag data-type will be displayed to the right of the
|
|
tag in the tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_show_data_type = 1
|
|
<
|

|
*g:tagbar_show_tag_count*
|
|
g:tagbar_show_tag_count~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
This option allows showing the tag count next to the tag kind in the tagbar
|
|
window. This will show up like this >

<
|
|
*g:tagbar_hide_nonpublic*
|
|
g:tagbar_hide_nonpublic~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
Hide tags that are declared non-public. Tags without any visibility
|
|
information will still be shown. If enabled the "v" flag will be shown in the
|
|
statusline of the Tagbar window. This can also be toggled with a key, see
|
|
|tagbar-keys|.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_hide_nonpublic = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_expand*
|
|
g:tagbar_expand~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If this option is set to 1 the Vim window will be expanded by the width of the
|
|
Tagbar window if using a GUI version of Vim. Setting it to 2 will also try
|
|
expanding a terminal, but note that this is not supported by all terminals.
|
|
See also |xterm-resize|.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_expand = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_singleclick*
|
|
g:tagbar_singleclick~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If this option is set then a single- instead of a double-click is used to jump
|
|
to the tag definition.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_singleclick = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_foldlevel*
|
|
g:tagbar_foldlevel~
|
|
Default: 99
|
|
|
|
The initial foldlevel for folds in the Tagbar window. Folds with a level
|
|
higher than this number will be closed.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_foldlevel = 2
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_iconchars*
|
|
g:tagbar_iconchars~
|
|
|
|
Since the display of the icons used to indicate open or closed folds depends
|
|
on the actual font used, different characters may be optimal for different
|
|
fonts. With this variable you can set the icons to characters of your liking.
|
|
The first character in the list specifies the icon to use for a closed fold,
|
|
and the second one for an open fold.
|
|
|
|
Examples (don't worry if some of the characters aren't displayed correctly,
|
|
just choose other characters in that case):
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_iconchars = ['▶', '▼'] (default on Linux and Mac OS X)
|
|
let g:tagbar_iconchars = ['▸', '▾']
|
|
let g:tagbar_iconchars = ['▷', '◢']
|
|
let g:tagbar_iconchars = ['+', '-'] (default on Windows)
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_scopestrs*
|
|
g:tagbar_scopestrs~
|
|
Default: {}
|
|
|
|
Setting to replace a tag's scope with a user-specified string in Tagbar's
|
|
display. If a scope is found in the keys of |g:tagbar_scopestrs|, then the
|
|
scope will be displayed as the corresponding value. If the scope is not
|
|
found, then the scope will be displayed as normal.
|
|
|
|
Example (don't worry if some of the characters aren't displayed correctly,
|
|
just choose other characters or strings in that case):
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_scopestrs = {
|
|
\ 'class': "\uf0e8",
|
|
\ 'const': "\uf8ff",
|
|
\ 'constant': "\uf8ff",

|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_autoshowtag*
|
|
g:tagbar_autoshowtag~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If this variable is set to 1 and the current tag is inside of a closed fold
|
|
then the folds will be opened as much as needed for the tag to be visible so
|
|
it can be highlighted. If it is set to 0 then the folds will only be opened
|
|
when opening the Tagbar window and the current tag is inside a closed fold,
|
|
otherwise the folds won't be opened and the parent tag will be highlighted
|
|
instead. If it is set to 2 then the folds will never be opened automatically.
|
|
|
|
You can use the |:TagbarShowTag| command to open the folds manually.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_autoshowtag = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_previewwin_pos*
|
|
g:tagbar_previewwin_pos~
|
|
Default: "topleft", or "rightbelow vertical" if |g:tagbar_vertical| is set
|
|
|
|
The position of the preview window. Valid values are the window splitting
|
|
commands that are described starting from |:vertical|. Set it to an empty
|
|
string to use the options 'splitbelow' and 'splitright'.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_previewwin_pos = "aboveleft"
|
|
<
|
|
If you want to disable line numbers in the preview window put something like
|
|
this into your vimrc:
|
|
>
|
|
autocmd BufWinEnter * if &previewwindow | setlocal nonumber | endif
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_autopreview*
|
|
g:tagbar_autopreview~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If this variable is set to 1 then moving the cursor in the Tagbar window will
|
|
automatically show the current tag in the preview window.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_autopreview = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_updateonsave_maxlines*
|
|
g:tagbar_updateonsave_maxlines~
|
|
|
|
Deprecated. Tagbar will now always get updated when the file is being saved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_systemenc*
|
|
g:tagbar_systemenc~
|
|
Default: value of 'encoding'
|
|
|
|
This variable is for cases where the character encoding of your operating
|
|
system is different from the one set in Vim, i.e. the 'encoding' option. For
|
|
example, if you use a Simplified Chinese Windows version that has a system
|
|
encoding of "cp936", and you have set 'encoding' to "utf-8", then you would
|
|
have to set this variable to "cp936".
|
|
Note that this requires Vim to be compiled with the |+multi_byte| and |+iconv|
|
|
features to work.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_systemenc = 'cp936'
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_status_func*
|
|
g:tagbar_status_func~
|
|
Default: undefined
|
|
|
|
This is the name of a function whose return value will be used to draw the
|
|
statusline of the Tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
The function has to take four arguments:
|
|
1. current: Whether Tagbar is the current window; 0 or 1.
|
|
2. sort: The sort order of the tags; 'Name' if they are sorted by name and
|
|
'Order' if they are sorted by their order of appearance in the file.
|
|
3. fname: The name of the file that the tags belong to.
|
|
4. flags: A list of characters that represent various state in the Tagbar
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
In order to avoid possible future additions to the arguments resulting in an
|
|
error it is recommended to add an additional vararg to the signature (see
|
|
|a:0|).
|
|
|
|
Here is an example that, when put into your vimrc, will emulate Tagbar's
|
|
default statusline:
|
|
>
|
|
function! TagbarStatusFunc(current, sort, fname, flags, ...) abort
|
|
let colour = a:current ? '%#StatusLine#' : '%#StatusLineNC#'
|
|
let flagstr = join(a:flags, '')
|
|
if flagstr != ''
|
|
let flagstr = '[' . flagstr . '] '
|
|
endif
|
|
return colour . '[' . a:sort . '] ' . flagstr . a:fname
|
|
endfunction
|
|
let g:tagbar_status_func = 'TagbarStatusFunc'
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_no_status_line*
|
|
g:no_status_line~
|
|
Default: undefined
|
|
|
|
This option will prevent any status line updates being done by Tagbar. Use
|
|
this in the event where another plugin is being used to update the status
|
|
line. If |g:tagbar_status_func| is set, then that function will never be
|
|
called.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:no_status_line = 1
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_silent*
|
|
g:tagbar_silent~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
By default if the cursor is over a tag in the tagbar window, information
|
|
about the tag is echoed out. Set this option to disable that behavior.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_silent = 1
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_use_cache*
|
|
g:tagbar_use_cache~
|
|
Default: 1
|
|
|
|
By default the file contents are passed to ctags by writing them to
|
|
a temporary file and invoking ctags on that file. This greatly speeds up tag
|
|
generation in the event of slow file systems such as network shares and
|
|
enables tagbar to run even on netrw virtual files that ctags would otherwise
|
|
not be able to find at all. However it does incure the cost of an extra write
|
|
operation. Additionally not all sysems are able to let programs share access
|
|
to temporary file space (for example Snap packages cannot read from the host
|
|
system's temp file space). This setting can disable the cache mechanism
|
|
entriely forcing the tags to be generated from the existing copy of the file
|
|
on disk rather than the current buffer written to a temporary file.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_use_cache = 0
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_file_size_limit*
|
|
g:tagbar_file_size_limit~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
By default, all files are processed by tagbar. Setting this value to non-zero
|
|
will disable processing for any file with a byte count greater than
|
|
|g:tagbar_file_size_limit|. A message will be displayed once for a given buffer
|
|
if the limit is exceeded. The file can be forcefully updated with the
|
|
|tagbar#ForceUpdate()| function or with the |:TagbarForceUpdate| command. If
|
|
the value is set to 0, then the file will always be processed.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_file_size_limit = 10000
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_wrap*
|
|
g:tagbar_wrap~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
Possible Values:
|
|
0 Disable line wrapping.
|
|
1 Enable the |wrap| option and also enable the |linebreak| option to
|
|
split the lines on word boundaries. This will use the default
|
|
|breakat| setting in vim. Note: This can cause possible display issues
|
|
with tags that exceed the tagbar window width. A very long tag name
|
|
will cause the tag itself to wrap resulting in an empty line and
|
|
indentation of the tag (see example below).
|
|
2 Enable the |wrap| option but disable the |linebreak| option. This will
|
|
split the lines at the end of the tagbar window and can cause it to
|
|
wrap in the middle of a word. This should be used if there are tags
|
|
that are regularly longer than the tagbar window width.
|
|
|
|
This also will use the |breakindent| and |breakindentopt| options in vim to
|
|
set the indentation of the wrapped lines.
|
|
|
|
Note: This requires VIM to be compiled with the |+linebreak| option for the
|
|
wrap intentation to function.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
>
|
|
" Wrap with linebreak - note the wrap works on word boundaries, but
|
|
" a very long tag name does cause an odd display issue.
|
|
let g:tagbar_wrap = 1

*g:tagbar_no_autocmds*
|
|
g:tagbar_no_autocmds~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If set to non-zero, tagbar will not enable any autocmds. Note: This greatly
|
|
limits what tagbar can do. When activated, it will generate the tags once and
|
|
display the contents once. You can use |:TagbarForceUpdate| to manually update
|
|
the tagbar window if this is activated. There will only be two autocmds
|
|
created in the tagbar autocmd group to handle closing the tagbar window
|
|
automatically on the QuitPre event.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_no_autocmds = 1
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_scrolloff*
|
|
g:tagbar_scrolloff~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If set to non-zero, the tagbar window initialization will set the |scrolloff|
|
|
value local to the tagbar window to the specified value. This is used to
|
|
position the current tag in the tagbar window. See the help for |scrolloff|
|
|
for more details. If set to a very high value (greater than the height of the
|
|
tagbar window), then the current tag should always stay in the center of the
|
|
tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_scrolloff = 10
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_jump_offset*
|
|
g:tagbar_jump_offset~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
This value can be used to control the jump offset positioning. When jumping to
|
|
a tag from the tagbar window, the tag will appear |g:tagbar_jump_offset| lines
|
|
above or below the center of the window. For example, if set to 10 and you
|
|
jump to a tag, the tag will appear 10 lines above the center of the window.
|
|
This can also be set to a negative value if you want the tag jump location to
|
|
be below the center of the window.
|
|
|
|
If set to greater than |winheight|() then the tag will always appear at the
|
|
top of the screen. If set to less than -|winheight|(), then the tag will
|
|
always appear at the bottom of the screen.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
>
|
|
" Set the tag jump location to appear at the top
|
|
let g:tagbar_jump_offset = 999
|
|
|
|
" Set the tag jump locaiton to appear at the bottom
|
|
let g:tagbar_jump_offset = -999
|
|
|
|
" Set the tag jump location to appear 25% from the top
|
|
let g:tagbar_jump_offset = winheight(0) / 4
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_jump_lazy_scroll*
|
|
g:tagbar_jump_lazy_scroll~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If set to non-zero, a jump to a tag will only scroll the window if the
|
|
tag is not already visible in the window. In other words, when jumping to
|
|
a tag that is already visible, the cursor will simply be placed on the line
|
|
containing the tag without scrolling the window. If the tag is not visible
|
|
in the window then the window will be scrolled and the tag (and cursor)
|
|
placed in the location dictated by |g:tagbar_jump_offset|.
|
|
|
|
*g:tagbar_highlight_follow_insert*
|
|
g:tagbar_highlight_follow_insert~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If set to non-zero, the highlight of the current tag in the Tagbar will follow
|
|
the cursor in insert mode as well, after a short pause once the cursor stops
|
|
moving. Enabling this option may introduce some lag during the input, so it is
|
|
disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_highlight_follow_insert = 1
|
|
<
|
|
*g:tagbar_highlight_method*
|
|
g:tagbar_highlight_method~
|
|
Default: 'nearest-stl'
|
|
|
|
This configuration controls how the tag highlighting works in the tagbar
|
|
window. The possible values are:
|
|
'nearest-stl' - Highlight the nearest tag that is defined with the
|
|
{stl} option
|
|
'scoped-stl' - Highlight the nearest tag defined with the {stl} flag
|
|
in the kind definition, also taking into account the
|
|
scope.
|
|
'nearest' - Highlight the nearest tag regardless of the type or
|
|
flags. This was the behavior prior to the introduction
|
|
of the 'scoped-stl' idea. If you want to revert to the
|
|
old method, set |g:tagbar_highlight_method| to
|
|
'nearest'.
|
|
|
|
Use case example: Consider the following example. If the cursor is at line
|
|
#10, then the highlight method will behave differently in each case. If set to
|
|
'nearest-stl', the tag for some_function() will be highlighted. If set to
|
|
'scoped-stl', the tag for 'class A' will be highlighted. If set to 'nearest',
|
|
then the tag for 'SOME_MACRO' will be highlighted.
|
|
|
|
If the cursor is moded to line #8, then both 'nearest-stl' and 'scoped-stl'
|
|
will highlight the tag for 'some_function()'. The 'nearest' method will
|
|
highlight the 'SOME_MACRO' tag.

*g:tagbar_ignore_anonymous*
|
|
g:tagbar_ignore_anonymous~
|
|
Default: 0
|
|
|
|
If set, any '__anon' tags generated by ctags will be ignored and will not be
|
|
displayed in the tagbar window. Note: this will also mean any child tags of
|
|
that anonymous tag will also not be visible.
|

|
|
AUTOMATICALLY OPENING TAGBAR *tagbar-autoopen*
|
|
|
|
Since there are several different situations in which you might want to open
|
|
Tagbar automatically there is no single option to enable automatic opening.
|
|
Instead, autocommands can be used together with a convenience function that
|
|
opens Tagbar only if a supported file is open(ed). It has a boolean parameter
|
|
that specifies whether Tagbar should be opened if any loaded buffer is
|
|
supported (in case the parameter is set to true) or only if a supported
|
|
file/buffer is currently being shown in a window. This can be useful if you
|
|
use multiple tabs and don't edit supported files in all of them.
|
|
|
|
If you want to open Tagbar automatically on Vim startup no matter what put
|
|
this into your vimrc:
|
|
>
|
|
autocmd VimEnter * nested :TagbarOpen
|
|
<
|
|
If you want to open it only if you're opening Vim with a supported file/files
|
|
use this instead:
|
|
>
|
|
autocmd VimEnter * nested :call tagbar#autoopen(1)
|
|
<
|
|
The above is exactly what the Taglist plugin does if you set the
|
|
Tlist_Auto_Open option, in case you want to emulate this behaviour.
|
|
|
|
For opening Tagbar also if you open a supported file in an already running
|
|
Vim:
|
|
>
|
|
autocmd FileType * nested :call tagbar#autoopen(0)
|
|
<
|
|
If you use multiple tabs and want Tagbar to also open in the current tab when
|
|
you switch to an already loaded, supported buffer:
|
|
>
|
|
autocmd BufEnter * nested :call tagbar#autoopen(0)
|
|
<
|
|
And if you want to open Tagbar only for specific filetypes, not for all of the
|
|
supported ones:
|
|
>
|
|
autocmd FileType c,cpp nested :TagbarOpen
|
|
<
|
|
Check out |autocmd.txt| if you want it to open automatically in more
|
|
complicated cases.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
SHOWING THE CURRENT TAG IN THE STATUSLINE *tagbar-statusline*
|
|
|
|
You can show the current tag in the 'statusline', or in any other place that
|
|
you want to, by calling the tagbar#currenttag() function. The current tag is
|
|
exactly the same as would be highlighted in the Tagbar window if it is open.
|
|
It is defined as the nearest tag upwards in the file starting from the cursor
|
|
position. This means that for example in a function it should usually be the
|
|
name of the function. You can define which tags will be shown in this manner,
|
|
read |tagbar-extend| (especially the "kinds" entry) on how to do that.
|
|
|
|
The function has the following signature:
|
|
|
|
tagbar#currenttag({format}, {default} [, {flags} [, {search-method}]])
|
|
{format} is a |printf()|-compatible format string where "%s" will be
|
|
replaced by the name of the tag. {default} will be displayed instead of
|
|
the format string if no tag can be found.
|
|
|
|
The optional {flags} argument specifies some additional properties of the
|
|
displayed tags. It is a string which can contain these character flags:
|
|
'f' Display the full hierarchy of the tag, not just the tag itself.
|
|
's' If the tag is a function, the complete signature will be shown,
|
|
otherwise just "()" will be appended to distinguish functions from
|
|
other tags.
|
|
'p' Display the raw prototype instead of the parsed tag. This can be
|
|
useful in cases where ctags doesn't report some information, like
|
|
the signature. Note that this can get quite long.
|
|
|
|
The optional {search-method} argument specified how to search for the
|
|
nearest tag. Valid options are:
|
|
'nearest' This will look for the closest tag above the current line
|
|
regardless of type. This will match even one line tags or
|
|
other tags not defined with the {stl} flag in their kind
|
|
definition. This is the quickest option, but least
|
|
accurate.
|
|
'nearest-stl' This will look for the closest tag above the current line
|
|
which is defined with the {stl} flag in its kind
|
|
definition. This is a little slower, but provides a little
|
|
more context and accuracy.
|
|
'scoped-stl' This will look for the closest tag above the current line
|
|
taking scope into account as well as the {stl} flag. The
|
|
scope is determined by the ctags 'end' field. This is the
|
|
slowest of the options as when outside of a function
|
|
scope, it could end up searching all the way to the top of
|
|
the file for the nearest scoped tag (or possibly none if
|
|
not in any scope at all).
|
|
For example, if you put the following into your statusline: >
|
|
%{tagbar#currenttag('[%s] ','')}
|
|
< then the function "myfunc" will be shown as "[myfunc()] ".
|
|
As another example, we can use the following in our status line to find
|
|
the current scoped tag and also print the full path when found: >
|
|
%{tagbar#currenttag('%s', '', 'f', 'scoped-stl')}
|
|
< then the function "myfunc" within class "myclass" will be shown as
|
|
"myclass::myfunc()". But when outside of the function, it will be shown as
|
|
"myclass"
|
|
Additionally you can show the kind (type) of the current tag, using following
|
|
function:
|
|
|
|
tagbar#currenttagtype({format}, {default})
|
|
{format} and {default} are treated in the same way as for
|
|
tagbar#currenttag function.
|
|
|
|
Altering previous example, like below: >
|
|
%{tagbar#currenttag('[%s] ','')}\ %{tagbar#currenttagtype("(%s) ", '')
|
|
< the function "myfunc" will be shown as "[myfunc()] (function)".
|
|
|
|
Note that if there is an error when processing the current file no error
|
|
message will be shown in order to not disrupt the statusline. If the function
|
|
doesn't seem to work right open the Tagbar window to see any error messages.
|
|
|
|
Note you should call |tagbar#StopAutoUpdate| manually in case you do not want
|
|
to display the current tag anymore. Otherwise the autocommands to update the
|
|

IGNORING SPECIFIC FILES *tagbar-ignore*
|
|
|
|
You can ignore specific files by setting the |buffer-variable|
|
|
"b:tagbar_ignore" to 1. This is best done with an |autocommand|:
|
|
>
|
|
autocmd BufNewFile,BufReadPost foo.cpp let b:tagbar_ignore = 1
|
|
<
|
|
Note that autocommands are order-sensitive, so make sure that this autocommand
|
|
gets defined before the ones that Tagbar defines so the variable will get
|
|
found at the right time.
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
6. Extending Tagbar *tagbar-extend*
|
|
|
|
Tagbar has a flexible mechanism for extending the existing file type (i.e.
|
|
language) definitions. This can be used both to change the settings of the
|
|
existing types and to add completely new types. For Tagbar to support a
|
|
filetype two things are needed: a program that generates the tag information,
|
|
usually Exuberant Ctags, and a Tagbar type definition in your |vimrc| or an
|
|
|ftplugin| that tells Tagbar how to interpret the generated tags.
|
|
|
|
Note: if you only want to customize an existing definition (like changing the
|
|
order in which tag kinds are displayed) see "Changing an existing definition"
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to generate the tag information for new filetypes: add a
|
|
definition to Exuberant Ctags or create a specialized program for your
|
|
language that generates ctags-compatible tag information (see
|
|
|tags-file-format| for information about how a "tags" file is structured). The
|
|
former allows simple regular expression-based parsing that is easy to get
|
|
started with, but doesn't support scopes unless you instead want to write a
|
|
C-based parser module for Exuberant Ctags. The regex approach is described in
|
|
more detail below.
|
|
Writing your own program is the approach used by for example jsctags and can
|
|
be useful if your language can best be parsed by a program written in the
|
|
language itself, or if you want to provide the program as part of a complete
|
|
support package for the language. Some tips on how to write such a program are
|
|
given at the end of this section.
|
|
|
|
Before writing your own extension have a look at the wiki
|
|
(https://github.com/preservim/tagbar/wiki) or try googling for existing ones.
|
|
If you do end up creating your own extension please consider adding it to the
|
|
wiki so that others can benefit from it, too.
|
|
|
|
Every type definition in Tagbar is a dictionary with the following keys:
|
|
|
|
ctagstype: The name of the language as recognized by ctags. Use the command >
|
|
ctags --list-languages
|
|
< to get a list of the languages ctags supports. The case doesn't
|
|
matter.
|
|
kinds: A list of the "language kinds" that should be listed in Tagbar,
|
|
ordered by the order they should appear in in the Tagbar window.
|
|
Use the command >
|
|
ctags --list-kinds={language name}
|
|
< to get a list of the kinds ctags supports for a given language. An
|
|
entry in this list is a colon-separated string with the following
|
|
syntax: >
|
|
{short}:{long}[:{fold}[:{stl}]]
|
|
< {short} is the one-character abbreviation that ctags uses, and
|
|
{long} is an arbitrary string that will be used in Tagbar as the
|
|
header for the the tags of this kind that are not listed under a
|
|
specific scope. {fold} determines whether tags of this kind should
|
|
be folded by default, with 1 meaning they should be folded and 0
|
|
they should not. If this part is omitted the tags will not be
|
|
folded by default. {stl} is used by the tagbar#currenttag()
|
|
function (see |tagbar-statusline|) to decide whether tags of this
|
|
kind should be shown in the statusline or not, with 1 meaning they
|
|
will be shown and 0 meaning they will be ignored. Omitting this
|
|
part means that the tags will be shown. Note that you have to
|
|
specify {fold} too if you want to specify {stl}.
|
|
For example, the string >
|
|
"f:functions:1"
|
|
< would list all the function definitions in a file under the header
|
|
"functions", fold them, and implicitly show them in the statusline
|
|
if tagbar#currenttag() is used. The {stl} field is also used to
|
|
determine tag that are considered for scoped highlighting in the
|
|
tagbar window. By default, whenever the cursor is on a line
|
|
containing a known tag, then that tag will be highlighted in the
|
|
tagbar window. However if the cursor is not on a line containing a
|
|
tag, then only tags of a type that has {stl} set to 1 will be
|
|
highlighted. For example, in C the "macro" type has an {stl} value
|
|
of 0. So if there is a macro defined within the scope of a
|
|
function such as this:
|
|
>
|
|
int function1(int arg) {
|
|
#define BUF_LENGTH 10
|
|
char buffer[BUF_LENGTH + 1];
|
|
snprintf(buffer, BUF_LENGTH, "some string");
|
|
}
|
|
<
|
|
Then when the cursor is on the #define line, then that macro will
|
|
be highlighted in the tagbar window. However if the cursor was on
|
|
the snprintf() line, then the tag for function1() would be
|
|
highlighted.
|
|
sro: The scope resolution operator. For example, in C++ it is "::" and
|
|
in Java it is ".". If in doubt run ctags as shown below and check
|
|
the output.
|
|
kind2scope: A dictionary describing the mapping of tag kinds (in their
|
|
one-character representation) to the scopes their children will
|
|
appear in, for example classes, structs etc.
|
|
Unfortunately there is no ctags option to list the scopes, you
|
|
have to look at the tags ctags generates manually. For example,
|
|
let's say we have a C++ file "test.cpp" with the following
|
|
contents: >
|
|
class Foo
|
|
{
|
|
public:
|
|
Foo();
|
|
~Foo();
|
|
private:
|
|
int var;
|
|
};
|
|
< We then run ctags in the following way: >
|
|
ctags -f - --format=2 --excmd=pattern --extras= --fields=nksaSmt test.cpp
|
|
< Then the output for the variable "var" would look like this: >
|
|
var tmp.cpp /^ int var;$/;" kind:m line:11 class:Foo access:private
|
|
< This shows that the scope name for an entry in a C++ class is
|
|
simply "class". So this would be the word that the "kind"
|
|
character of a class has to be mapped to.
|
|
scope2kind: The opposite of the above, mapping scopes to the kinds of their
|
|
parents. Most of the time it is the exact inverse of the above,
|
|
but in some cases it can be different, for example when more than
|
|
one kind maps to the same scope. If it is the exact inverse for
|
|
your language you only need to specify one of the two keys.
|
|
replace: If you set this entry to 1 your definition will completely replace
|
|
{optional} an existing default definition. This is useful if you want to
|
|
disable scopes for a file type for some reason. Note that in this
|
|
case you have to provide all the needed entries yourself!
|
|
sort: This entry can be used to override the global sort setting for
|
|
{optional} this specific file type. The meaning of the value is the same as
|
|
with the global setting, that is if you want to sort tags by name
|
|
set it to 1 and if you want to sort them according to their order
|
|
in the file set it to 0.
|
|
deffile: The path to a file with additional ctags definitions (see the
|
|
{optional} section below on adding a new definition for what exactly that
|
|
means). This is especially useful for ftplugins since they can
|
|
provide a complete type definition with ctags and Tagbar
|
|
configurations without requiring user intervention.
|
|
Let's say you have an ftplugin that adds support for the language
|
|
"mylang", and your directory structure looks like this: >
|
|
ctags/mylang.cnf
|
|
ftplugin/mylang.vim
|
|
< Then the "deffile" entry would look like this to allow for the
|
|
plugin to be installed in an arbitray location (for example
|
|
with pathogen): >
|
|
|
|
'deffile' : expand('<sfile>:p:h:h') . '/ctags/mylang.cnf'
|
|
<
|
|
ctagsbin: The path to a filetype-specific ctags-compatible program like
|
|
{optional} jsctags. Set it in the same way as |g:tagbar_ctags_bin|. jsctags is
|
|
used automatically if found in your $PATH and does not have to be
|
|
set in that case. If it is not in your path you have to set this
|
|
key, the rest of the configuration should not be necessary (unless
|
|
you want to change something, of course). Note: if you use this
|
|
then the "ctagstype" key is not needed.
|
|
ctagsargs: The arguments to be passed to the filetype-specific ctags program
|
|
{optional} (without the filename). Make sure you set an option that makes the
|
|
program output its data on stdout. Not used for the normal ctags
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
The value of ctagsargs may be a |List| of strings (a string for
|
|
each argument), or a single string (|expr-string|) of all the
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
When the value of ctagsargs is a list, tagbar.vim takes care of
|
|
escaping each argument in the list as required for the current
|
|
'shell' type.
|
|
|
|
When the value of ctagsargs is a string, it must be properly
|
|
escaped (if required by the current shell type). The reason
|
|
tagbar.vim does not attempt to escape the string in this case is
|
|
because if there is a space, it is ambiguous as to whether the
|
|
space is delimiting an argument or included in the argument. To
|
|
avoid this amiguity, tagbar.vim expects the string to be already
|
|
escaped as required.
|
|
|
|
If special escaping is required for different OS shell types or if
|
|
in doubt, then it is recommended to define ctagsargs with a List.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You then have to assign this dictionary to a variable in your vimrc with the
|
|
name
|
|
>
|
|
g:tagbar_type_{vim filetype}
|
|
<
|
|
For example, for C++ the name would be "g:tagbar_type_cpp". If you don't know
|
|
the vim file type then run the following command:
|
|
>
|
|
:set filetype?
|
|
<
|
|
and vim will display the file type of the current buffer.
|
|
|
|
Example: C++~
|
|
Here is a complete example that shows the default configuration for C++ as
|
|
used in Tagbar. This is just for illustration purposes since user
|
|
configurations will usually be less complicated.

|
|
let g:tagbar_type_cpp = {
|
|
\ 'ctagstype' : 'c++',
|
|
\ 'kinds' : [
|
|
\ 'd:macros:1:0',
|
|
\ 'p:prototypes:1:0',

<
|
|
|
|
Which of the keys you have to specify depends on what you want to do.
|
|
|
|
Changing an existing definition~
|
|
If you want to change an existing definition you only need to specify the
|
|
parts that you want to change. It probably only makes sense to change "kinds",
|
|
which would be the case if you wanted to for example change the order of
|
|
certain kinds, change their default fold state or exclude them from appearing
|
|
in Tagbar. The easiest way to do that is to use the |:TagbarGetTypeConfig|
|
|
command, which will paste a ready-to-use configuration with the "kinds" entry
|
|
for the specified type at the current cursor position.
|
|
|
|
As an example, if you didn't want Tagbar to show prototypes for C++ files,
|
|
switch the order of enums and typedefs, and show macros in the statusline, you
|
|
would first run ":TagbarGetTypeConfig cpp" in your vimrc and then change the
|
|
definition like this:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_type_cpp = {
|
|
\ 'kinds' : [
|
|
\ 'd:macros:1',
|
|
\ 'g:enums',
|
|
\ 't:typedefs:0:0',
|
|
\ 'e:enumerators:0:0',
|
|
\ 'n:namespaces',
|
|
\ 'c:classes',
|
|
\ 's:structs',
|
|
\ 'u:unions',
|
|
\ 'f:functions',
|
|
\ 'm:members:0:0',
|
|
\ 'v:variables:0:0'
|
|
\ ]
|
|
\ }
|
|
<
|
|
Compare with the complete example above to see the difference.
|
|
|
|
Adding a definition for a new language/file type~
|
|
In order to be able to add a new language to Tagbar you first have to create a
|
|
configuration for ctags that it can use to parse the files. This can be done
|
|
in two ways:
|
|
|
|
1. Use the --regex argument for specifying regular expressions that are used
|
|
to parse the files. An example of this is given below. A disadvantage of
|
|
this approach is that you can't specify scopes.
|
|
2. Write a parser plugin in C for ctags. This approach is much more powerful
|
|
than the regex approach since you can make use of all of ctags'
|
|
functionality but it also requires much more work. Read the ctags
|
|
documentation for more information about how to do this.
|
|
|
|
For the first approach the only keys that are needed in the Tagbar definition
|
|
are "ctagstype" and "kinds". A definition that supports scopes has to define
|
|
those two and in addition "scopes", "sro" and at least one of "kind2scope" and
|
|
"scope2kind".
|
|
|
|
Let's assume we want to add support for LaTeX to Tagbar using the regex
|
|
approach. First we put the following text into ~/.ctags or a file pointed to
|
|
by the "deffile" definition entry:
|
|
>
|
|
--langdef=latex
|
|
--langmap=latex:.tex
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\tableofcontents/TABLE OF CONTENTS/s,toc/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\frontmatter/FRONTMATTER/s,frontmatter/
|
|

|

|

|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\part[[:space:]]*\*[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/PART \1/s,part/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\chapter[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/CHAP \2/s,chapter/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\chapter[[:space:]]*\*[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/CHAP \1/s,chapter/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\section[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\. \2/s,section/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\section[[:space:]]*\*[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\. \1/s,section/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\subsection[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\.\. \2/s,subsection/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\subsection[[:space:]]*\*[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\.\. \1/s,subsection/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\subsubsection[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\.\.\. \2/s,subsubsection/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\subsubsection[[:space:]]*\*[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\.\.\. \1/s,subsubsection/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\includegraphics[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\3/g,graphic+listing/
|
|
--regex-latex=/^\\lstinputlisting[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*(\[[^]]*\])?[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\3/g,graphic+listing/
|
|
--regex-latex=/\\label[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\1/l,label/
|
|
--regex-latex=/\\ref[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\1/r,ref/
|
|
--regex-latex=/\\pageref[[:space:]]*\{([^}]+)\}/\1/p,pageref/
|
|
<
|
|
This will create a new language definition with the name "latex" and associate
|
|
it with files with the extension ".tex". It will also define the kinds "s" for
|
|
sections, chapters and the like, "g" for included graphics, "l" for labels,
|
|
"r" for references and "p" for page references. See the ctags documentation
|
|
for more information about the exact syntax.
|
|
|
|
Now we have to create the Tagbar language definition in our vimrc:
|
|
>
|
|
let g:tagbar_type_tex = {
|
|
\ 'ctagstype' : 'latex',
|
|
\ 'kinds' : [
|
|
\ 's:sections',
|
|
\ 'g:graphics:0:0',
|
|
\ 'l:labels',
|
|
\ 'r:refs:1:0',
|
|
\ 'p:pagerefs:1:0'
|
|
\ ],
|
|
\ 'sort' : 0,
|
|
\ 'deffile' : expand('<sfile>:p:h:h') . '/ctags/latex.cnf'
|
|
\ }
|
|
<
|
|
The "deffile" field is of course only needed if the ctags definition actually
|
|
is in that file and not in ~/.ctags.
|
|
|
|
Sort has been disabled for LaTeX so that the sections appear in their correct
|
|
order. They unfortunately can't be shown nested with their correct scopes
|
|
since as already mentioned the regular expression approach doesn't support
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
Tagbar should now be able to show the sections and other tags from LaTeX
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Note: As of 2012-05-05 the ctags development version contains an improved
|
|
LaTeX parser that works better than the example configuration presented here.
|
|
So if you are using a development build newer than that or a stable version
|
|
newer than 5.8 you should use the built-in support instead of this example.
|
|
|
|
Project-specific configuration~
|
|
|
|
In addition to the normal global configuration it is also possible to have
|
|
project-specific settings. This is mostly useful for additional ctags options,
|
|
like for example macros to ignore. Or maybe you want to do things like folding
|
|
certain tag kinds in some projects.
|
|
|
|
In order to use this feature you need to create User |autocommand|s in an
|
|
augroup called "TagbarProjects" and have it create a buffer-local variable
|
|
called "b:tagbar_type". This variable has to hold a type definition just like
|
|
the normal ones described in this chapter. If there already is a definition
|
|
then the project-specific one will be merged with the existing one, with the
|
|
project-specific one taking precedence. This makes it possible to have
|
|
project-specific overrides. This definition will then be applied only to the
|
|
files matched by the autocommand.
|
|
|
|
Note that there can be multiple definitions of the augroup with their own
|
|
autocommands (for example in separate project directories); they will get
|
|
merged automatically by Vim.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
>
|
|
augroup TagbarProjects
|
|
autocmd User ~/myproject/*.c let b:tagbar_type = {'deffile' : '~/myproject/ctags.cnf'}
|
|
augroup END
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
Writing your own tag-generating program~
|
|
If you want to write your own program for generating tags then here are some
|
|
imporant tips to get it to integrate well with Tagbar:
|
|
|
|
- Tagbar supports the same tag format as Vim itself. The format is described
|
|
in |tags-file-format|, the third format mentioned there is the relevant
|
|
one. Note that the {tagaddress} part should be a search pattern since the
|
|
line number can be specified in a field (see below).
|
|
- Tagbar reads the tag information from a program's standard output
|
|
(stdout), it doesn't generate files and reads them in after that. So make
|
|
sure that your program has an option to output the tags on stdout.
|
|
- Some fields are supported for providing additional information about a
|
|
tag. One field is required: the "kind" field as a single letter, either
|
|
with or without a "kind:" fieldname. If it is used without the fieldname
|
|
then it has to be the first field in the list. All other fields need to
|
|
have a fieldname in order to determine what they are. The following fields
|
|
are supported for all filetypes:
|
|
|
|
* line: The line number of the tag.
|
|
* column: The column number of the tag.
|
|
* signature: The signature of a function.
|
|
* access: Visibility information of a tag; the values "public",
|
|
"protected" and "private" will be denoted with a special
|
|
symbol in Tagbar.
|
|
|
|
In addition fields that describe the surrounding scope of the tag are
|
|
supported if they are specified in the type configuration as explained at
|
|
the beginning of this section. For example, for a tag in class "Foo" this
|
|
could look like "class:Foo".
|
|
Important: the value of such a scope-specifying field should be the entire
|
|
hierarchy of scopes that the tag is in, so if for example in C++ you have
|
|
a member in class "Foo" which is in namespace "Bar" then the scope field
|
|
should be "class:Bar::Foo".
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
7. Troubleshooting & Known issues *tagbar-issues*
|
|
|
|
As a general rule, if the tag information displayed by Tagbar is wrong (for
|
|
example, a method doesn't show up or is in the wrong place) you should first
|
|
try running ctags manually to see whether ctags reports the wrong information
|
|
or whether that information is correct and Tagbar does something wrong. To run
|
|
ctags manually execute the following command in a terminal:
|
|
>
|
|
ctags -f - --format=2 --excmd=pattern --extras= --fields=nksaSmt myfile
|
|
<
|
|
If you set the |g:tagbar_ctags_bin| variable you probably have to use the same
|
|
value here instead of simply "ctags". Also, if you use
|
|
|:tagbar_ctags_options|, you should include the equivalent --options flag in
|
|
the call to ctags.
|
|
|
|
If something more fundamental isn't working right then try running the
|
|
|:messages| command to see if Tagbar printed any error messages that might
|
|
have been missed.
|
|
|
|
If the bug does seem to be in Tagbar then you can use Tagbar's debug mode to
|
|
try to find the source of the problem. Usually you would use it like this:
|
|
|
|
1. Remove the |tagbar-statusline| support from your vimrc if you use it
|
|
unless the problem is with this functionality, and make sure you don't
|
|
have any autocommands that load Tagbar on startup.
|
|
2. Open Vim without loading any files.
|
|
3. Run :TagbarDebug.
|
|
4. Open the file you are having problems with.
|
|
5. Open Tagbar. If the problem is with the statusline functionality this
|
|
step may not be necessary.
|
|
6. Exit Vim.
|
|
|
|
Note that it is important that the "TagbarDebug" command gets called before
|
|
any other call to a Tagbar command or function, so step 1 is important to get
|
|
a complete log.
|
|
|
|
This should leave a file called "tagbardebug.log" in the current directory. If
|
|
ctags got executed successfully then there should also be a file called
|
|
"tagbardebug.log.ctags_out" which contains the full output of the last ctags
|
|
invocation. This can be very helpful when debugging but may contain sensitive
|
|
information and is therefore kept in a separate file.
|
|
|
|
See |tagbar-commands| for more information on the debug commands. When you
|
|
look at the file you should especially pay attention to the reported file type
|
|
and the ctags command line in the log file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known issues~
|
|
|
|
- jsctags has to be newer than 2011-01-06 since it needs the "-f" option to
|
|
work. Also, the output of jsctags seems to be a bit unreliable at the
|
|
moment (especially regarding line numbers), so if you notice some strange
|
|
behaviour with it please run it manually in a terminal to check whether
|
|
the bug is in jsctags or Tagbar.
|
|
|
|
- Nested pseudo-tags cannot be properly parsed since only the direct parent
|
|
scope of a tag gets assigned a type, the type of the grandparents is not
|
|
reported by ctags (assuming the grandparents don't have direct, real
|
|
children).
|
|
|
|
For example, if we have a C++ file with the following content:
|
|
>
|
|
foo::Bar::init()
|
|
{
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
foo::Baz::method()
|
|
{
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
<
|
|
In this case the type of "foo" is not known. Is it a namespace? A class?
|
|
For this reason the methods are displayed in Tagbar like this:
|
|
>
|
|
foo::Bar* : class
|
|
init()
|
|
foo::Baz* : class
|
|
method()
|
|
<
|
|
- Scope-defining tags at the top level that have the same name but a
|
|
different kind/scope type can lead to an incorrect display. For example,
|
|
the following Python code will incorrectly insert a pseudo-tag "Inner2"
|
|
into the "test" class:
|
|
>
|
|
class test:
|
|
class Inner:
|
|
def foo(self):
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
def test():
|
|
class Inner2:
|
|
def bar(self):
|
|
pass
|
|
<
|
|
I haven't found a proper way around this yet, but it shouldn't be much of
|
|
a problem in practice anyway. Tags with the same name at any other level
|
|
are no problem, though.

|
|
|
|
2.6.1 (2014-01-23)
|
|
- Automatically close the preview window when jumping to a tag
|
|
- Don't forget the previous window in certain situations, which was
|
|
causing problems with for example fugitive
|
|
- Fixed toggling kind-specific folds
|
|
- Fixed ctags error that can happen with Cygwin
|
|
|
|
2.6 (2013-12-06)
|
|
- Added possibility to show tags in the preview window, either manually or
|
|
automatically.
|
|
- Allow customizing the statusline, see :help g:tagbar_status_func.
|
|
- Type configuration can now be project-specific.
|
|
- The keybindings in the Tagbar window are now configurable.
|
|
- Improvements to Ctags execution on Windows, thanks to Darcy Parker.
|
|
- Added function tagbar#currentfile() that returns the path to the file
|
|
currently being displayed in Tagbar, thanks to Zhao Cai.
|
|
- Added a :Tagbar command as an alias for :TagbarToggle.
|
|
- Added an way to ignore specific files in case they create problems.
|
|
- Optionally show line numbers in the Tagbar window.
|
|
- The usual bunch of small improvements and bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
2.5 (2013-03-25)
|
|
- New command :TagbarTogglePause to freeze Tagbar in its current state so
|
|
you can switch to other files while keeping the old information
|
|
displayed for reference. (Kian Ryan)
|
|
- New command :TagbarCurrentTag which reports the same information as
|
|
currenttag().
|
|
- New option tagbar_indent to configure the indentation depth of the tags.
|
|
- New option tagbar_show_visibility to allow disabling the visibility
|
|
symbols.
|
|
- Files are now cached locally to avoid additional slowdowns for slow
|
|
connections. This also makes it possible to use Tagbar with files
|
|
accessed through Netrw.
|
|
- Execute ctags again even if the previous run reported errors, in case it
|
|
was a parse error that has since been fixed. If the error persists,
|
|
don't display it again.
|
|
- Improved window switching and Vim exit behaviours. (Techlive Zheng)
|
|
- The currenttag() function now can show the prototype instead of the
|
|
actual tag, which can be useful in some cases where ctags doesn't report
|
|
all the interesting information.
|
|
- The prototype shown in the tooltip or command line should now always be
|
|
complete, even if it is spread out over more than one line in the source
|
|
file.
|
|
- The TagbarAccessPublic etc. highlight groups have been renamed to
|
|
TagbarVisibilityPublic etc. to keep them in line with standard
|
|
terminology. The old names are still supported.
|
|
- Various smaller improvements and bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
2.4.1 (2012-07-16)
|
|
- Fixed some bugs related to the currenttag() function when it was called
|
|
before the rest of the plugin was loaded. Also fail silently in case
|
|
something goes wrong so the statusline doesn't get messed up.
|
|
- In certain cases highlighting tags in deeply nested folds could cause an
|
|
error message.
|
|
- Spellchecking is now correctly getting disabled in the Tagbar window.
|
|
|
|
2.4 (2012-06-17)
|
|
- New function tagbar#currenttag() that reports the current tag, for
|
|
example for putting it into the statusline.
|
|
- New command TagbarGetTypeConfig for easy customization of an existing
|
|
type.
|
|
- Type definitions now can be loaded from ftplugins.
|
|
- The autoopen() function is now a bit more flexible.
|
|
- Vala is now supported if Anjuta is installed.
|
|
- Various other small improvements and bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
2.3 (2011-12-24)
|
|
- Add a convenience function that allows more flexible ways to
|
|
automatically open Tagbar.
|
|
- Replace option tagbar_usearrows with tagbar_iconchars to allow custom
|
|
characters to be specified. This helps with fonts that don't display the
|
|
default characters properly.
|
|
- Remove the need to provide the complete jsctags configuration if jsctags
|
|
is not found in $PATH, now only the concrete path has to be specified.
|
|
- Add debugging functionality.
|
|
|
|
2.2 (2011-11-26)
|
|
- Small incompatible change: TagbarOpen now doesn't jump to the Tagbar
|
|
window anymore if it is already open. Use "TagbarOpen j" instead or see
|
|
its documentation for more options.
|
|
- Tags inside of scopes now have a header displaying their "kind".
|
|
- The Tagbar contents are now immediately updated on save for files
|
|
smaller than a configurable size.
|
|
- Tagbar can now be configured to jump to a tag with only a single-click
|
|
instead of a double-click.
|
|
- Most of the script has been moved to the |autoload| directory, so Vim
|
|
startup should be faster (thanks to Kien N).
|
|
- Jumping to tags should work most of the time even if the file has been
|
|
modified and not saved.
|
|
- If Ctags has been installed into the default location using Homebrew or
|
|
MacPorts it should now be found automatically.
|
|
- Several bugfixes.
|
|
|
|
2.1 (2011-05-29)
|
|
- Make Tagbar work in (hopefully) all cases under Windows
|
|
- Handle cases where 'encoding' is different from system encoding, for
|
|
example on a Chinese Windows with 'encoding' set to "utf-8" (see manual
|
|
for details in case it doesn't work out-of-the-box)
|
|
- Fixed a bug with the handling of subtypes like "python.django"
|
|
- If a session got saved with Tagbar open it now gets restored properly
|
|
- Locally reset foldmethod/foldexpr in case foldexpr got set to something
|
|
expensive globally
|
|
- Tagbar now tries hard to go to the correct window when jumping to a tag
|
|
- Explain some possible issues with the current jsctags version in the
|
|
manual
|
|
- Explicitly check for some possible configuration problems to be able to
|
|
give better feedback
|
|
- A few other small fixes
|
|
|
|
2.0.1 (2011-04-26)
|
|
- Fix sorting bug when 'ignorecase' is set
|
|
|
|
2.0 (2011-04-26)
|
|
- Folding now works correctly. Folds will be preserved when leaving the
|
|
Tagbar window and when switching between files. Also tag types can be
|
|
configured to be folded by default, which is useful for things like
|
|
includes and imports.
|
|
- DoctorJS/jsctags and other compatible programs are now supported.
|
|
- All of the highlight groups can now be overridden.
|
|
- Added keybinding to quickly jump to next/previous top-level tag.
|
|
- Added Taglist's "p" keybinding for jumping to a tag without leaving the
|
|
Tagbar window.
|
|
- Several bugfixes and other small improvements.
|
|
|
|
1.5 (2011-03-06)
|
|
- Type definitions can now include a path to a file with the ctags
|
|
definition. This is especially useful for ftplugins that can now ship
|
|
with a complete ctags and Tagbar configuration without requiring user
|
|
intervention. Thanks to Jan Christoph Ebersbach for the suggestion.
|
|
- Added autofocus setting by Taybin Rutkin. This will put the cursor in
|
|
the Tagbar window when it is opened.
|
|
- The "scopes" field is no longer needed in type definitions, the
|
|
information is already there in "scope2kind". Existing definitions will
|
|
be ignored.
|
|
- Some fixes and improvements related to redrawing and window switching.
|
|
|
|
1.2 (2011-02-28)
|
|
- Fix typo in Ruby definition
|
|
|
|
1.1 (2011-02-26)
|
|
- Don't lose syntax highlighting when ':syntax enable' is called
|
|
- Allow expanding the Vim window when Tagbar is opened
|
|
|
|
1.0 (2011-02-23)
|
|
- Initial release
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
9. Todo *tagbar-todo*
|
|
|
|
- Allow filtering the Tagbar content by some criteria like tag name,
|
|
visibility, kind ...
|
|
- Integrate Tagbar with the FSwitch plugin to provide header file
|
|
information in C/C++.
|
|
- Allow jumping to a tag in the preview window, a split window or a new tab.
|
|

|
Tagbar was written by Jan Larres and is released under the Vim licence, see
|
|
|license|. It was heavily inspired by the Taglist plugin by Yegappan
|
|
Lakshmanan and uses a small amount of code from it.
