Basically it's an -extended standard library of Vim script functions that I wrote during the -development of my Vim plug-ins. +[Vim] [vim] has long been my favorite text editor and combined with [Exuberant Ctags] [exctags] it has the potential to provide most of what I expect from an [integrated development environment] [ide]. Exuberant Ctags is the latest incarnation of a [family of computer programs] [ctags] that scan source code files to create an index of identifiers (tags) and where they are defined. Vim uses this index (a so-called tags file) to enable you to jump to the definition of any identifier using the [Control-]] [ctrl_mapping] mapping. -The miscellaneous scripts are bundled with each of my plug-ins using git -merges, so that a repository checkout of a plug-in contains everything that's -needed to get started. This means the git repository of the miscellaneous -scripts is only used to track changes in a central, public place. +When you're familiar with integrated development environments you may recognize this feature as "Go-to definition". One advantage of the combination of Vim and Exuberant Ctags over integrated development environments is that Vim supports syntax highlighting for [over 500 file types] [vim_fts] (!) and Exuberant Ctags can generate tags for [over 40 file types] [ctags_fts] as well... -## Function documentation +There's just one problem: You have to manually keep your tags files up-to-date and this turns out to be a royal pain in the ass! So I set out to write a Vim plug-in that would do this boring work for me. When I finished the plug-in's basic functionality (one automatic command and a call to [system()] [system] later) I became interested in dynamic syntax highlighting, so I added that as well to see if it would work -- surprisingly well I'm happy to report! -Below is the documentation for the functions included in the miscellaneous -scripts. The function descriptions given below were extracted from the source -code using a bit of Python code. +## Installation -<!-- Start of generated documentation --> +Unzip the most recent [ZIP archive] [download] file inside your Vim profile directory (usually this is `~/.vim` on UNIX and `%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles` on Windows), restart Vim and execute the command `:helptags ~/.vim/doc` (use `:helptags ~\vimfiles\doc` instead on Windows). Now try it out: Edit any file type supported by Exuberant Ctags and within ten seconds the plug-in should create/update your tags file (`~/.vimtags` on UNIX, `~/_vimtags` on Windows) with the tags defined in the file you just edited! This means that whatever file you're editing in Vim (as long as it's on the local file system), tags will always be available by the time you need them! -The documentation of the 43 functions below was extracted from -12 Vim scripts on May 20, 2013 at 14:42. +Additionally if the file you just opened is an AWK, C#, C, C++, Objective-C, Java, Lua, PHP, Python, Ruby, Shell, Tcl or Vim source file you should also notice that the function and type names defined in the file have been syntax highlighted. -### Handling of special buffers +The `easytags.vim` plug-in is intended to work automatically once it's installed, but if you want to change how it works there are several options you can change and commands you can execute from your own mappings and/or automatic commands. These are all documented below. -The functions defined here make it easier to deal with special Vim buffers -that contain text generated by a Vim plug-in. For example my [vim-notes -plug-in] [vim-notes] generates several such buffers: +Note that if the plug-in warns you `ctags` isn't installed you'll have to download it from its [homepage] [exctags], or if you're running Debian/Ubuntu you can install it by executing the following shell command: -- [:RecentNotes] [RecentNotes] lists recently modified notes -- [:ShowTaggedNotes] [ShowTaggedNotes] lists notes grouped by tags -- etc. + $ sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags -Because the text in these buffers is generated, Vim shouldn't bother with -swap files and it should never prompt the user whether to save changes to -the generated text. +### A note about Windows -[vim-notes]: http://peterodding.com/code/vim/notes/ -[RecentNotes]: http://peterodding.com/code/vim/notes/#recentnotes_command -[ShowTaggedNotes]: http://peterodding.com/code/vim/notes/#showtaggednotes_command +On Windows the [system()] [system] function used by `easytags.vim` causes a command prompt window to pop up while Exuberant Ctags is executing. If this bothers you then you can install my [shell.vim] [shell] plug-in which includes a [DLL] [dll] that works around this issue. Once you've installed both plug-ins it should work out of the box! Please let me know if this doesn't work for you. -#### The `xolox#misc#buffer#is_empty()` function +## Commands -Checks if the current buffer is an empty, unchanged buffer which can be -reused. Returns 1 if an empty buffer is found, 0 otherwise. +### The `:UpdateTags` command -#### The `xolox#misc#buffer#prepare()` function +This command executes [Exuberant Ctags] [exctags] from inside Vim to update the global tags file defined by `g:easytags_file`. When no arguments are given the tags for the current file are updated, otherwise the arguments are passed on to `ctags`. For example when you execute the Vim command `:UpdateTags -R ~/.vim` (or `:UpdateTags -R ~\vimfiles` on Windows) the plug-in will execute `ctags -R ~/.vim` for you (with some additional arguments, see the troubleshooting section "`:HighlightTags` only works for the tags file created by `:UpdateTags`" for more information). -Open a special buffer, i.e. a buffer that will hold generated contents, -not directly edited by the user. The buffer can be customized by passing a -dictionary with the following key/value pairs as the first argument: +When you execute this command like `:UpdateTags!` (including the bang!) then all tags whose files are missing will be filtered from the global tags file. -- **name** (required): The base name of the buffer (i.e. the base name of - the file loaded in the buffer, even though it isn't really a file and - nothing is really 'loaded' :-) -- **path** (required): The pathname of the buffer. May be relevant if - [:lcd] [lcd] or ['autochdir'] [acd] is being used. +Note that this command will be executed automatically every once in a while, assuming you haven't changed `g:easytags_on_cursorhold`. -[lcd]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/editing.html#:lcd -[acd]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'autochdir' +### The `:HighlightTags` command -#### The `xolox#misc#buffer#lock()` function +When you execute this command while editing one of the supported file types (see above) the relevant tags in the current file are highlighted. The tags to highlight are gathered from all tags files known to Vim (through the ['tags' option] [tags_opt]). -Lock a special buffer so that its contents can no longer be edited. +Note that this command will be executed automatically every once in a while, assuming you haven't changed `g:easytags_on_cursorhold`. -#### The `xolox#misc#buffer#unlock()` function +## Options -Unlock a special buffer so that its content can be updated. +The easytags plug-in should work out of the box but if you don't like the default configuration you can change how it works by setting the variables documented below. Most of these variables can also be changed for specific files by setting a buffer local variable instead of the global variable. For example to disable automatic highlighting (enabled by default) only in Python files you can add the following line to your [vimrc script] [vimrc]: -### Compatibility checking + :autocmd FileType python let b:easytags_auto_highlight = 0 -This Vim script defines a version number for the miscellaneous scripts. Each -of my plug-ins compares their expected version of the miscellaneous scripts -against the version number defined inside the miscellaneous scripts. +Note that buffer local variables always override global variables, so if you want to undo this for a specific file you have to use [:unlet] [unlet]: -The version number is incremented whenever a change in the miscellaneous -scripts breaks backwards compatibility. This enables my Vim plug-ins to fail -early when they detect an incompatible version, instead of breaking at the -worst possible moments :-). + :unlet b:easytags_auto_highlight -#### The `xolox#misc#compat#check()` function +### The `g:easytags_cmd` option -Expects three arguments: +The plug-in will try to determine the location where Exuberant Ctags is installed on its own but this might not always work because any given executable named `ctags` in your `$PATH` might not in fact be Exuberant Ctags but some older, more primitive `ctags` implementation which doesn't support the same command line options and thus breaks the easytags plug-in. If this is the case you can set the global variable `g:easytags_cmd` to the location where you've installed Exuberant Ctags, e.g.: -1. The name of the Vim plug-in that is using the miscellaneous scripts -2. The version of the Vim plug-in that is using the miscellaneous scripts -3. The version of the miscellaneous scripts expected by the plug-in + :let g:easytags_cmd = '/usr/local/bin/ctags' -When the loaded version of the miscellaneous scripts is different from the -version expected by the plug-in, this function will raise an error message -that explains what went wrong. +If you rely entirely on language-specific configuration and don't have a general ctags program, set this to the empty string. -### Tab completion for user defined commands +### The `g:easytags_languages` option -#### The `xolox#misc#complete#keywords()` function +Exuberant Ctags supports many languages and can be extended via regular expression patterns, but for some languages separate tools with ctags-compatible output exist (e.g. [jsctags] [jsctags] for Javascript). To use these, the executable and its arguments must be configured: -This function can be used to perform keyword completion for user defined -Vim commands based on the contents of the current buffer. Here's an -example of how you would use it: + let g:easytags_languages = { + \ 'language': { + \ 'cmd': g:easytags_cmd, + \ 'args': [], + \ 'fileoutput_opt': '-f', + \ 'stdout_opt': '-f-', + \ 'recurse_flag': '-R' + \ } + \} - :command -nargs=* -complete=customlist,xolox#misc#complete#keywords MyCmd call s:MyCmd(<f-args>) +Each key is a special language definition. The key is in the notation of ctags in lowercase; you still need to use `xolox#easytags#map_filetypes()` to map this to Vim's filetypes, if necessary. -### String escaping functions +Above snippets shows the defaults; you only need to specify options that differ. -#### The `xolox#misc#escape#pattern()` function +### The `g:easytags_file` option -Takes a single string argument and converts it into a [:substitute] -[subcmd] / [substitute()] [subfun] pattern string that matches the given -string literally. +As mentioned above the plug-in will store your tags in `~/.vimtags` on UNIX and `~/_vimtags` on Windows. To change the location of this file, set the global variable `g:easytags_file`, e.g.: -[subfun]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/eval.html#substitute() -[subcmd]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/change.html#:substitute + :let g:easytags_file = '~/.vim/tags' -#### The `xolox#misc#escape#substitute()` function +A leading `~` in the `g:easytags_file` variable is expanded to your current home directory (`$HOME` on UNIX, `%USERPROFILE%` on Windows). -Takes a single string argument and converts it into a [:substitute] -[subcmd] / [substitute()] [subfun] replacement string that inserts the -given string literally. +### The `g:easytags_dynamic_files` option -#### The `xolox#misc#escape#shell()` function +By default `:UpdateTags` only writes to the global tags file, but it can be configured to look for project specific tags files by adding the following lines to your [vimrc script] [vimrc]: -Takes a single string argument and converts it into a quoted command line -argument. + :set tags=./tags; + :let g:easytags_dynamic_files = 1 -I was going to add a long rant here about Vim's ['shellslash' option] -[shellslash], but really, it won't make any difference. Let's just suffice -to say that I have yet to encounter a single person out there who uses -this option for its intended purpose (running a UNIX style shell on -Microsoft Windows). +You can change the name of the tags file, the important thing is that it's relative to your working directory or the buffer (using a leading `./`). When `g:easytags_dynamic_files` is set to 1 the easytags plug-in will write to the first existing tags file seen by Vim (based on the ['tags' option] [tags_opt]). In other words: If a project specific tags file is found it will be used, otherwise the plug-in falls back to the global tags file (or a file type specific tags file). -[shellslash]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'shellslash' +If you set `g:easytags_dynamic_files` to 2 the easytags plug-in will automatically create project specific tags based on the first name in the 'tags' option. In this mode the the global tags file or file type specific tags files are only used for directories where you don't have write permissions. -### List handling functions +The ['tags' option] [tags_opt] is reevaluated each time the plug-in runs, so which tags file is selected can differ depending on the buffer and working directory. -#### The `xolox#misc#list#unique()` function +### The `g:easytags_by_filetype` option -Remove duplicate values from the given list in-place (preserves order). +By default all tags are stored in a global tags file. When the tags file grows beyond a certain size Vim will be slowed down by the easytags plug-in because it has to read and process a large number of tags very frequently. -#### The `xolox#misc#list#binsert()` function +To avoid this problem you can set `g:easytags_by_filetype` to the path of an existing directory. The easytags plug-in will create separate tags files for each file type in the configured directory. These tags files are automatically registered by the easytags plug-in when the file type of a buffer is set. -Performs in-place binary insertion, which depending on your use case can -be more efficient than calling Vim's [sort()] [sort] function after each -insertion (in cases where a single, final sort is not an option). Expects -three arguments: +Note that the `g:easytags_dynamic_files` option takes precedence over this option. -1. A list -2. A value to insert -3. 1 (true) when case should be ignored, 0 (false) otherwise +If you already have a global tags file you can create file type specific tags files from the global tags file using the command `:TagsByFileType`. -[sort]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/eval.html#sort() +### The `g:easytags_events` option -### Functions to interact with the user +This option can be used to customize the events that trigger the automatic updating and highlighting performed by the easytags plug-in. The `g:easytags_always_enabled` and `g:easytags_on_cursorhold` options are more user friendly but limited ways to accomplish the same thing. -#### The `xolox#misc#msg#info()` function +Here's an example: Say you want the easytags plug-in to automatically update & highlight tags for the current file right after you save the file. You can accomplish this by adding the following line to your [vimrc script] [vimrc]: -Show a formatted informational message to the user. This function has the -same argument handling as Vim's [printf()] [printf] function. + :let g:easytags_events = ['BufWritePost'] -[printf]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/eval.html#printf() +Note that if you set `g:easytags_events` in your [vimrc script] [vimrc], the values of the options `g:easytags_always_enabled` and `g:easytags_on_cursorhold` will be ignored completely. -#### The `xolox#misc#msg#warn()` function +### The `g:easytags_always_enabled` option -Show a formatted warning message to the user. This function has the same -argument handling as Vim's [printf()] [printf] function. +By default the plug-in automatically generates and highlights tags when you stop typing for a few seconds (this works using the [CursorHold] [cursorhold] automatic command). This means that when you edit a file, the dynamic highlighting won't appear until you pause for a moment. If you don't like this you can configure the plug-in to always enable dynamic highlighting: -#### The `xolox#misc#msg#debug()` function + :let g:easytags_always_enabled = 1 -Show a formatted debugging message to the user, if the user has enabled -increased verbosity by setting Vim's ['verbose'] [verbose] option to one -(1) or higher. This function has the same argument handling as Vim's -[printf()] [printf] function. +Be warned that after setting this option you'll probably notice why it's disabled by default: Every time you edit a file in Vim, the plug-in will first run Exuberant Ctags and then highlight the tags, and this slows Vim down quite a lot. I have some ideas on how to improve this latency by running Exuberant Ctags in the background so stay tuned! -### Integration between Vim and its environment +Note: If you change this option it won't apply until you restart Vim, so you'll have to set this option in your [vimrc script] [vimrc]. -#### The `xolox#misc#open#file()` function +### The `g:easytags_on_cursorhold` option -Given a pathname as the first argument, this opens the file with the -program associated with the file type. So for example a text file might -open in Vim, an `*.html` file would probably open in your web browser and -a media file would open in a media player. +As I explained above the plug-in by default doesn't update or highlight your tags until you stop typing for a moment. The plug-in tries hard to do the least amount of work possible in this break but it might still interrupt your workflow. If it does you can disable the periodic update: -This should work on Windows, Mac OS X and most Linux distributions. If -this fails to find a file association, you can pass one or more external -commands to try as additional arguments. For example: + :let g:easytags_on_cursorhold = 0 - :call xolox#misc#open#file('/path/to/my/file', 'firefox', 'google-chrome') +Note: Like the `g:easytags_always_enabled` option, if you change this option it won't apply until you restart Vim, so you'll have to set this option in your [vimrc script] [vimrc]. -This generally shouldn't be necessary but it might come in handy now and -then. +### The `g:easytags_updatetime_min` option -#### The `xolox#misc#open#url()` function +Vim's ['updatetime'] [updatetime] option controls how often the easytags plug-in is automatically executed. A lot of popular Vim plug-ins manipulate this option to control how often they are called. Unfortunately some of those plug-ins set ['updatetime'] [updatetime] to a very low value (less than a second) and this can break the easytags plug-in. -Given a URL as the first argument, this opens the URL in your preferred or -best available web browser: +Because of this the easytags plug-in compensates by keeping track of when it was last executed. You'll get one warning when the plug-in first notices a very low value of ['updatetime'] [updatetime], after that the plug-in will shut up (until you restart Vim) and simply compensate by not executing until its time has come. If you want to silence the warning message forever, see the `g:easytags_updatetime_warn` option. -- In GUI environments a graphical web browser will open (or a new tab will - be created in an existing window) -- In console Vim without a GUI environment, when you have any of `lynx`, - `links` or `w3m` installed it will launch a command line web browser in - front of Vim (temporarily suspending Vim) +The default value of Vim's ['updatetime] [updatetime] option *and* the `g:easytags_updatetime_min` option is 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds). -### Vim and plug-in option handling +If you know what you're doing and you really want the easytags plug-in to be executed more than once every 4 seconds you can lower the minimum acceptable updatetime by setting `g:easytags_updatetime_min` to the number of milliseconds (an integer). -#### The `xolox#misc#option#get()` function +Note that although `g:easytags_updatetime_min` counts in milliseconds, the easytags plug-in does not support subsecond granularity because it is limited by Vim's [localtime()] [localtime] function which has one-second resolution. -Expects one or two arguments: 1. The name of a variable and 2. the default -value if the variable does not exist. +### The `g:easytags_updatetime_warn` option -Returns the value of the variable from a buffer local variable, global -variable or the default value, depending on which is defined. +Since the easytags plug-in now compensates for low ['updatetime'] [updatetime] values (see the `g:easytags_updatetime_min` option above) the warning message shown by the easytags plug-in has become kind of redundant (and probably annoying?). For now it can be completely disabled by setting `g:easytags_updatetime_warn` to 0 (false). -This is used by some of my Vim plug-ins for option handling, so that users -can customize options for specific buffers. +When the feature that compensates for low ['updatetime'] [updatetime] values has proven to be a reliable workaround I will probably remove the warning message and the `g:easytags_updatetime_warn` option. -#### The `xolox#misc#option#split()` function +### The `g:easytags_auto_update` option -Given a multi-value Vim option like ['runtimepath'] [rtp] this returns a -list of strings. For example: +By default the plug-in automatically updates and highlights your tags when you stop typing for a moment. If you want to disable automatic updating while keeping automatic highlighting enabled you can set this option to false: - :echo xolox#misc#option#split(&runtimepath) - ['/home/peter/Projects/Vim/misc', - '/home/peter/Projects/Vim/colorscheme-switcher', - '/home/peter/Projects/Vim/easytags', - ...] + :let g:easytags_auto_update = 0 -[rtp]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'runtimepath' +### The `g:easytags_auto_highlight` option -#### The `xolox#misc#option#join()` function +By default the plug-in automatically updates and highlights your tags when you stop typing for a moment. If you want to disable automatic highlighting while keeping automatic updating enabled you can set this option to false: -Given a list of strings like the ones returned by -`xolox#misc#option#split()`, this joins the strings together into a -single value that can be used to set a Vim option. + :let g:easytags_auto_highlight = 0 -#### The `xolox#misc#option#split_tags()` function +### The `g:easytags_autorecurse` option -Customized version of `xolox#misc#option#split()` with specialized -handling for Vim's ['tags' option] [tags]. +When the `:UpdateTags` command is executed automatically or without arguments, it defaults to updating just the tags for the current file. If you'd rather have it recursively scan everything below the directory of the current file then set this option to true (1): -[tags]: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'tags' + :let g:easytags_autorecurse = 1 -#### The `xolox#misc#option#join_tags()` function +You have to explicitly enable this option because it should only be used while navigating around small directory trees. Imagine always having this option enabled and then having to edit a file in e.g. the root of your home directory: The `easytags.vim` plug-in would freeze Vim for a long time while you'd have to wait for Exuberant Ctags to scan thousands of files... -Customized version of `xolox#misc#option#join()` with specialized -handling for Vim's ['tags' option] [tags]. +Note that when you enable this option the `easytags.vim` plug-in might ignore other options like `g:easytags_resolve_links`. This is an implementation detail which I intend to fix. -#### The `xolox#misc#option#eval_tags()` function +### The `g:easytags_include_members` option -Evaluate Vim's ['tags' option] [tags] without looking at the file -system, i.e. this will report tags files that don't exist yet. Expects -the value of the ['tags' option] [tags] as the first argument. If the -optional second argument is 1 (true) only the first match is returned, -otherwise (so by default) a list with all matches is returned. +Exuberant Ctags knows how to generate tags for struct/class members in C++ and Java source code but doesn't do so by default because it can more than double the size of your tags files, thus taking much longer to read/write the tags file. When you enable the `g:easytags_include_members` option from your [vimrc script] [vimrc] (before the `easytags.vim` plug-in is loaded): -### Operating system interfaces + :let g:easytags_include_members = 1 -#### The `xolox#misc#os#is_win()` function +Exuberant Ctags will be instructed to include struct/class members using the `--extra=+q` command line argument and the `easytags.vim` plug-in will highlight them using the `cMember` highlighting group. Because most color schemes don't distinguish the [Identifier and Type] [syn_groups] highlighting groups all members will now probably look like type definitions. You can change that by executing either of the following Vim commands (from your vimrc script, a file type plug-in, etc.): -Returns 1 (true) when on Microsoft Windows, 0 (false) otherwise. + " If you like one of the existing styles you can link them: + highlight link cMember Special -#### The `xolox#misc#os#find_vim()` function + " You can also define your own style if you want: + highlight cMember gui=italic -Returns the program name of Vim as a string.

With regards to hard links there's not much anyone can do, but because I use symbolic links quite a lot I've added this option. It's disabled by default since it has a small performance impact and might not do what unknowing users expect it to: When you enable this option the plug-in will resolve symbolic links in pathnames, which means your tags file will only contain entries with [canonical pathnames] [canon]. To enable this option (which I strongly suggest doing when you run UNIX and use symbolic links) execute the following Vim command: -#### The `xolox#misc#os#exec()` function + :let g:easytags_resolve_links = 1 -Execute an external command (hiding the console on Microsoft Windows when -my [vim-shell plug-in] [vim-shell] is installed). +### The `g:easytags_suppress_ctags_warning` option -Expects a dictionary with the following key/value pairs as the first -argument: +If this is set and not false, it will suppress the warning on startup if ctags is not found or not recent enough. -- **command** (required): The command line to execute -- **async** (optional): set this to 1 (true) to execute the command in the - background (asynchronously) -- **stdin** (optional): a string or list of strings with the input for the - external command -- **check** (optional): set this to 0 (false) to disable checking of the - exit code of the external command (by default an exception will be - raised when the command fails) + :let g:easytags_suppress_ctags_warning = 1 -Returns a dictionary with one or more of the following key/value pairs: +### The `g:easytags_ignored_syntax_groups` option -- **command** (always available): the generated command line that was used - to run the external command -- **exit_code** (only in synchronous mode): the exit status of the - external command (an integer, zero on success) -- **stdout** (only in synchronous mode): the output of the command on the - standard output stream (a list of strings, one for each line) -- **stderr** (only in synchronous mode): the output of the command on the - standard error stream (as a list of strings, one for each line) +This variable is a string of comma separated names of syntax groups in which dynamic highlighting is not applied.

To do this you can create a configuration file for Exuberant Ctags, e.g. `~/.ctags` on UNIX or `%USERPROFILE%\ctags.cnf` on Windows. The file should contain one command line option per line. See the [Exuberant Ctags manual] [ctags_cfg] for details. - :echo xolox#misc#path#which('gvim', 'vim') - ['/usr/local/bin/gvim', - '/usr/bin/gvim', - '/usr/local/bin/vim', - '/usr/bin/vim'] +### Update & highlight tags immediately after save -#### The `xolox#misc#path#split()` function +By default the easytags plug-in automatically updates & highlights tags for the current file after several seconds of inactivity. This is done to prevent the easytags plug-in from interrupting your workflow. -Split a pathname (the first and only argument) into a list of pathname -components. +If you want the easytags plug-in to automatically update & highlight tags for the current file right after you save the file, you can add the following line to your [vimrc script] [vimrc]: -On Windows, pathnames starting with two slashes or backslashes are UNC -paths where the leading slashes are significant... In this case we split -like this: + :let g:easytags_events = ['BufWritePost'] -- Input: `'//server/share/directory'` -- Result: `['//server', 'share', 'directory']` +### How to customize the highlighting colors? -Everything except Windows is treated like UNIX until someone has a better -suggestion :-). In this case we split like this: +The easytags plug-in defines new highlighting groups for dynamically highlighted tags. These groups are linked to Vim's default groups so that they're colored out of the box, but if you want you can change the styles. To do so use a `highlight` command such as the ones given a few paragraphs back. Of course you'll need to change the group name. Here are the group names used by the easytags plug-in: -- Input: `'/foo/bar/baz'` -- Result: `['/', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz']` + * **AWK**: `awkFunctionTag` + * **C#:** `csClassOrStructTag`, `csMethodTag` + * **C, C++, Objective C:** `cTypeTag`, `cEnumTag`, `cPreProcTag`, `cFunctionTag`, `cMemberTag` + * **Java:** `javaClassTag`, `javaMethodTag` + * **Lua:** `luaFuncTag` + * **PHP:** `phpFunctionsTag`, `phpClassesTag` + * **Python:** `pythonFunctionTag`, `pythonMethodTag`, `pythonClassTag` + * **Ruby:** `rubyModuleNameTag`, `rubyClassNameTag`, `rubyMethodNameTag` + * **Shell**: `shFunctionTag` + * **Tcl**: `tclCommandTag` + * **Vim:** `vimAutoGroupTag`, `vimCommandTag`, `vimFuncNameTag`, `vimScriptFuncNameTag` -To join a list of pathname components back into a single pathname string, -use the `xolox#misc#path#join()` function. +As you can see each of these names ends in `Tag` to avoid conflicts with the syntax modes shipped with Vim. And about the singular/plural confusion: I've tried to match the existing highlighting groups defined by popular syntax modes (except of course for the `Tag` suffix). -#### The `xolox#misc#path#join()` function +## Faster syntax highlighting using Python -Join a list of pathname components (the first and only argument) into a -single pathname string. This is the counterpart to the -`xolox#misc#path#split()` function and it expects a list of pathname -components as returned by `xolox#misc#path#split()`. +The Vim script implementation of dynamic syntax highlighting is quite slow on large tags files. When the Python Interface to Vim is enabled the easytags plug-in will therefor automatically use a Python script that performs dynamic syntax highlighting about twice as fast as the Vim script implementation. The following options are available to change the default configuration. -#### The `xolox#misc#path#directory_separator()` function +### The `g:easytags_python_enabled` option -Find the preferred directory separator for the platform and settings. +To disable the Python implementation of dynamic syntax highlighting you can set this option to false (0). -#### The `xolox#misc#path#absolute()` function +### The `g:easytags_python_script` option -Canonicalize and resolve a pathname, *regardless of whether it exists*. -This is intended to support string comparison to determine whether two -pathnames point to the same directory or file. +This option defines the pathname of the script that contains the Python implementation of dynamic syntax highlighting. -#### The `xolox#misc#path#relative()` function +## Troubleshooting -Make an absolute pathname (the first argument) relative to a directory -(the second argument). +### `:HighlightTags` only works for the tags file created by `:UpdateTags` -#### The `xolox#misc#path#merge()` function +If you want to create tags files and have their tags highlighted by the `easytags.vim` plug-in then you'll have to create the tags file with certain arguments to Exuberant Ctags: -Join a directory pathname and filename into a single pathname. + $ ctags --fields=+l --c-kinds=+p --c++-kinds=+p ... -#### The `xolox#misc#path#commonprefix()` function +The `--fields=+l` argument makes sure that Exuberant Ctags includes a `language:...` property with each entry in the tags file. This is required by the `:HighlightTags` command so it can filter tags by their file type. The other two arguments make sure Exuberant Ctags generates tags for function prototypes in C/C++ source code. -Find the common prefix of path components in a list of pathnames. +If you have the `g:easytags_include_members` option enabled (its off by default) then you'll also need to add the `--extra=+q` argument so that Exuberant Ctags generates tags for structure/class members. -#### The `xolox#misc#path#encode()` function +### The plug-in complains that Exuberant Ctags isn't installed -Encode a pathname so it can be used as a filename. This uses URL encoding -to encode special characters. +After a Mac OS X user found out the hard way that the `ctags` executable isn't always Exuberant Ctags and we spend a few hours debugging the problem I added proper version detection: The plug-in executes `ctags --version` when Vim is started to verify that Exuberant Ctags 5.5 or newer is installed. If it isn't Vim will show the following message on startup: -#### The `xolox#misc#path#decode()` function + easytags.vim: Plug-in not loaded because Exuberant Ctags isn't installed! + Please download & install Exuberant Ctags from http://ctags.sf.net -Decode a pathname previously encoded with `xolox#misc#path#encode()`. +If the installed Exuberant Ctags version is too old the plug-in will complain: -#### The `xolox#misc#path#is_relative()` function + easytags.vim: Plug-in not loaded because Exuberant Ctags 5.5 + or newer is required while you have version %s installed! -Returns true (1) when the pathname given as the first argument is -relative, false (0) otherwise. +If you have the right version of Exuberant Ctags installed but the plug-in still complains, try executing the following command from inside Vim: -#### The `xolox#misc#path#tempdir()` function + :!which ctags -Create a temporary directory and return the pathname of the directory. +If this doesn't print the location where you installed Exuberant Ctags it means your system already had a `ctags` executable but it isn't compatible with Exuberant Ctags 5.5 and you'll need to set the `g:easytags_cmd` option (see above) so the plug-in knows which `ctags` to run. -### String handling +### Vim locks up while the plug-in is running -#### The `xolox#misc#str#compact()` function +Once or twice now in several years I've experienced Exuberant Ctags getting into an infinite loop when given garbage input. In my case this happened by accident a few days ago :-|. Because my plug-in executes `ctags` in the foreground this will block Vim indefinitely! If this happens you might be able to kill `ctags` by pressing [Control-C] [ctrl_c] but if that doesn't work you can also kill it without stopping Vim using a task manager or the `pkill` command (available on most UNIX systems): -Compact whitespace in the string given as the first argument. + $ pkill -KILL ctags -#### The `xolox#misc#str#trim()` function +If Vim seems very slow and you suspect this plug-in might be the one to blame, increase Vim's verbosity level: -Trim all whitespace from the start and end of the string given as the -first argument. + :set vbs=1 -### Timing of long during operations +Every time the plug-in executes it will time how long the execution takes and add the results to Vim's message history, which you can view by executing the [:messages] [messages] command. -#### The `xolox#misc#timer#start()` function +### Failed to highlight tags because pattern is too big! -Start a timer. This returns a list which can later be passed to -`xolox#misc#timer#stop()`. +If the `easytags.vim` plug-in fails to highlight your tags and the error message mentions that the pattern is too big, your tags file has grown too large for Vim to be able to highlight all tagged identifiers! I've had this happen to me with 50 KB patterns because I added most of the headers in `/usr/include/` to my tags file. Internally Vim raises the error [E339: Pattern too long] [e339] and unfortunately the only way to avoid this problem once it occurs is to reduce the number of tagged identifiers... -#### The `xolox#misc#timer#stop()` function +In my case the solution was to move most of the tags from `/usr/include/` over to project specific tags files which are automatically loaded by Vim when I edit files in different projects because I've set the ['tags' option] [tags_opt] as follows: -Show a formatted debugging message to the user, if the user has enabled -increased verbosity by setting Vim's ['verbose'] [verbose] option to one -(1) or higher. + :set tags=./.tags;,~/.vimtags -This function has the same argument handling as Vim's [printf()] [printf] -function with one difference: At the point where you want the elapsed time -to be embedded, you write `%s` and you pass the list returned by -`xolox#misc#timer#start()` as an argument. +Once you've executed the above command, Vim will automatically look for a file named `.tags` in the directory of the current file.

Let git know about the `vim-misc` repository by adding the remote GitHub - repository: - - git remote add -f vim-misc https://github.com/xolox/vim-misc.git - -2. Merge the two directory trees without clobbering the `README.md` and/or - `.gitignore` files, thanks to the selected merge strategy and options: - - git checkout master - git merge --no-commit -s recursive -X ours vim-misc/master - git commit -m "Merge vim-misc repository as overlay" - -3. While steps 1 and 2 need to be done only once for a given repository, the - following commands are needed every time I want to pull and merge the latest - changes: - - git checkout master - git fetch vim-misc master - git merge --no-commit -s recursive -X ours vim-misc/master - git commit -m "Merged changes to miscellaneous scripts" - -### Why make things so complex? - -I came up with this solution after multiple years of back and forth between Vim -Online users, the GitHub crowd and my own sanity: - -1. When I started publishing my first Vim plug-ins (in June 2010) I would - prepare ZIP archives for Vim Online using makefiles. The makefiles would - make sure the miscellaneous scripts were included in the uploaded - distributions. This had two disadvantages: It lost git history and the - repositories on GitHub were not usable out of the box, so [I got complaints - from GitHub (Pathogen) users] [github-complaints]. - -2. My second attempt to solve the problem used git submodules which seemed like - the ideal solution until I actually started using them in March 2011: - Submodules are not initialized during a normal `git clone`, you need to use - `git clone --recursive` instead but Vim plug-in managers like [Pathogen] - [pathogen] and [Vundle] [vundle] don't do this (at least [they didn't when I - tried] [vundle-discussion]) so people would end up with broken checkouts. - -3. After finding out that git submodules were not going to solve my problems I - searched for other inclusion strategies supported by git. After a while I - came upon the [subtree merge strategy] [merge-strategy] which I started - using in May 2011 and stuck with for more than two years (because it - generally worked fine and seemed quite robust). - -4. In April 2013 the flat layout of the repository started bothering me because - it broke my personal workflow, so I changed it to the proper directory - layout of a Vim plug-in. Why did it break my workflow? Because I couldn't - get my [vim-reload] [reload] plug-in to properly reload miscellaneous - scripts without nasty hacks. Note to self: [Dropbox does not respect - symbolic links] [dropbox-vote-350] and Vim doesn't like them either ([E746] - [E746]). - -### Compatibility issues - -Regardless of the inclusion strategies discussed above, my current scheme has a -flaw: If more than one of my plug-ins are installed in a Vim profile using -[Pathogen] [pathogen] or [Vundle] [vundle], the miscellaneous autoload scripts -will all be loaded from the subdirectory of one single plug-in. - -This means that when I break compatibility in the miscellaneous scripts, I have -to make sure to merge the changes into all of my plug-ins. Even then, if a user -has more than one of my plug-ins installed but updates only one of them, the -other plug-ins (that are not yet up to date) can break (because of the -backwards incompatible change). - -The `xolox#misc#compat#check()` function makes sure that incompatibilities are -detected early so that the user knows which plug-in to update if -incompatibilities arise. +If you want to use the plug-in with Vim under [Cygwin] [cygwin], you need to have the Cygwin version of Ctags installed instead of the Windows version (thanks to Alex Zuroff for reporting this!). ## Contact -If you have questions, bug reports, suggestions, etc. the author can be -contacted at <peter@peterodding.com>.

License |easytags-license| + +=============================================================================== + *easytags-introduction* +Introduction ~ + +Vim has long been my favorite text editor and combined with Exuberant Ctags +[1] it has the potential to provide most of what I expect from an integrated +development environment [2]. Exuberant Ctags is the latest incarnation of a +family of computer programs [3] that scan source code files to create an index +of identifiers (tags) and where they are defined. Vim uses this index (a +so-called tags file) to enable you to jump to the definition of any identifier +using the Control-] (see |CTRL-]|) mapping. + +When you're familiar with integrated development environments you may +recognize this feature as "Go-to definition". One advantage of the combination +of Vim and Exuberant Ctags over integrated development environments is that +Vim supports syntax highlighting for over 500 file types [4] (!) and Exuberant +Ctags can generate tags for over 40 file types [5] as well... + +There's just one problem: You have to manually keep your tags files up-to-date +and this turns out to be a royal pain in the ass! So I set out to write a Vim +plug-in that would do this boring work for me. When I finished the plug-in's +basic functionality (one automatic command and a call to |system()| later) I +became interested in dynamic syntax highlighting, so I added that as well to +see if it would work -- surprisingly well I'm happy to report! + +=============================================================================== + *easytags-installation* +Installation ~ + +Unzip the most recent ZIP archive [6] file inside your Vim profile directory +(usually this is '~/.vim' on UNIX and '%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles' on Windows), +restart Vim and execute the command ':helptags ~/.vim/doc' (use ':helptags +~\vimfiles\doc' instead on Windows). Now try it out: Edit any file type +supported by Exuberant Ctags and within ten seconds the plug-in should +create/update your tags file ('~/.vimtags' on UNIX, '~/_vimtags' on Windows) +with the tags defined in the file you just edited! This means that whatever +file you're editing in Vim (as long as it's on the local file system), tags +will always be available by the time you need them! + +Additionally if the file you just opened is an AWK, C#, C, C++, Objective-C, +Java, Lua, PHP, Python, Ruby, Shell, Tcl or Vim source file you should also +notice that the function and type names defined in the file have been syntax +highlighted. + +The 'easytags.vim' plug-in is intended to work automatically once it's +installed, but if you want to change how it works there are several options +you can change and commands you can execute from your own mappings and/or +automatic commands. These are all documented below. + +Note that if the plug-in warns you 'ctags' isn't installed you'll have to +download it from its homepage [1], or if you're running Debian/Ubuntu you can +install it by executing the following shell command: +> + $ sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + *easytags-a-note-about-windows* +A note about Windows ~ + +On Windows the |system()| function used by 'easytags.vim' causes a command +prompt window to pop up while Exuberant Ctags is executing. If this bothers +you then you can install my shell.vim [7] plug-in which includes a DLL [8] +that works around this issue. Once you've installed both plug-ins it should +work out of the box! Please let me know if this doesn't work for you. + +=============================================================================== + *easytags-commands* +Commands ~ + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *:UpdateTags* command + +This command executes Exuberant Ctags [1] from inside Vim to update the global +tags file defined by |g:easytags_file|. When no arguments are given the tags +for the current file are updated, otherwise the arguments are passed on to +'ctags'. For example when you execute the Vim command ':UpdateTags -R ~/.vim' +(or ':UpdateTags -R ~\vimfiles' on Windows) the plug-in will execute 'ctags -R +~/.vim' for you (with some additional arguments, see the troubleshooting +section "|:HighlightTags| only works for the tags file created by +|:UpdateTags|" for more information). + +When you execute this command like ':UpdateTags!' (including the bang!) then +all tags whose files are missing will be filtered from the global tags file. + +Note that this command will be executed automatically every once in a while, +assuming you haven't changed |g:easytags_on_cursorhold|. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *:HighlightTags* command + +When you execute this command while editing one of the supported file types +(see above) the relevant tags in the current file are highlighted. The tags to +highlight are gathered from all tags files known to Vim (through the |'tags'| +option). + +Note that this command will be executed automatically every once in a while, +assuming you haven't changed |g:easytags_on_cursorhold|. + +=============================================================================== + *easytags-options* +Options ~ + +The easytags plug-in should work out of the box but if you don't like the +default configuration you can change how it works by setting the variables +documented below. Most of these variables can also be changed for specific +files by setting a buffer local variable instead of the global variable. For +example to disable automatic highlighting (enabled by default) only in Python +files you can add the following line to your |vimrc| script: +> + :autocmd FileType python let b:easytags_auto_highlight = 0 + +Note that buffer local variables always override global variables, so if you +want to undo this for a specific file you have to use |:unlet|: +> + :unlet b:easytags_auto_highlight + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_cmd* option + +The plug-in will try to determine the location where Exuberant Ctags is +installed on its own but this might not always work because any given +executable named 'ctags' in your '$PATH' might not in fact be Exuberant Ctags +but some older, more primitive 'ctags' implementation which doesn't support +the same command line options and thus breaks the easytags plug-in. If this is +the case you can set the global variable |g:easytags_cmd| to the location +where you've installed Exuberant Ctags, e.g.: +> + :let g:easytags_cmd = '/usr/local/bin/ctags' + +If you rely entirely on language-specific configuration and don't have a +general ctags program, set this to the empty string. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_languages* option + +Exuberant Ctags supports many languages and can be extended via regular +expression patterns, but for some languages separate tools with +ctags-compatible output exist (e.g. jsctags [9] for Javascript). To use these, +the executable and its arguments must be configured: +> + let g:easytags_languages = { + \ 'language': { + \ 'cmd': g:easytags_cmd, + \ 'args': [], + \ 'fileoutput_opt': '-f', + \ 'stdout_opt': '-f-', + \ 'recurse_flag': '-R' + \ } + \} + +Each key is a special language definition. The key is in the notation of ctags +in lowercase; you still need to use 'xolox#easytags#map_filetypes()' to map +this to Vim's filetypes, if necessary. + +Above snippets shows the defaults; you only need to specify options that +differ. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_file* option + +As mentioned above the plug-in will store your tags in '~/.vimtags' on UNIX +and '~/_vimtags' on Windows. To change the location of this file, set the +global variable |g:easytags_file|, e.g.: +> + :let g:easytags_file = '~/.vim/tags' + +A leading '~' in the |g:easytags_file| variable is expanded to your current +home directory ('$HOME' on UNIX, '%USERPROFILE%' on Windows). + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_dynamic_files* option + +By default |:UpdateTags| only writes to the global tags file, but it can be +configured to look for project specific tags files by adding the following +lines to your |vimrc| script: +> + :set tags=./tags; + :let g:easytags_dynamic_files = 1 + +You can change the name of the tags file, the important thing is that it's +relative to your working directory or the buffer (using a leading './'). When +|g:easytags_dynamic_files| is set to 1 the easytags plug-in will write to the +first existing tags file seen by Vim (based on the |'tags'| option). In other +words: If a project specific tags file is found it will be used, otherwise the +plug-in falls back to the global tags file (or a file type specific tags +file). + +If you set |g:easytags_dynamic_files| to 2 the easytags plug-in will +automatically create project specific tags based on the first name in the +'tags' option. In this mode the the global tags file or file type specific +tags files are only used for directories where you don't have write +permissions. + +The |'tags'| option is reevaluated each time the plug-in runs, so which tags +file is selected can differ depending on the buffer and working directory. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_by_filetype* option + +By default all tags are stored in a global tags file. When the tags file grows +beyond a certain size Vim will be slowed down by the easytags plug-in because +it has to read and process a large number of tags very frequently. + +To avoid this problem you can set |g:easytags_by_filetype| to the path of an +existing directory. The easytags plug-in will create separate tags files for +each file type in the configured directory. These tags files are automatically +registered by the easytags plug-in when the file type of a buffer is set. + +Note that the |g:easytags_dynamic_files| option takes precedence over this +option. + +If you already have a global tags file you can create file type specific tags +files from the global tags file using the command ':TagsByFileType'. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_events* option + +This option can be used to customize the events that trigger the automatic +updating and highlighting performed by the easytags plug-in. The |g:easytags_always_enabled| +and |g:easytags_on_cursorhold| options are more user friendly but limited ways +to accomplish the same thing. + +Here's an example: Say you want the easytags plug-in to automatically update & +highlight tags for the current file right after you save the file. You can +accomplish this by adding the following line to your |vimrc| script: +> + :let g:easytags_events = ['BufWritePost'] + +Note that if you set |g:easytags_events| in your |vimrc| script, the values of +the options |g:easytags_always_enabled| and |g:easytags_on_cursorhold| will be +ignored completely. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_always_enabled* option + +By default the plug-in automatically generates and highlights tags when you +stop typing for a few seconds (this works using the |CursorHold| automatic +command). This means that when you edit a file, the dynamic highlighting won't +appear until you pause for a moment. If you don't like this you can configure +the plug-in to always enable dynamic highlighting: +> + :let g:easytags_always_enabled = 1 + +Be warned that after setting this option you'll probably notice why it's +disabled by default: Every time you edit a file in Vim, the plug-in will first +run Exuberant Ctags and then highlight the tags, and this slows Vim down quite +a lot. I have some ideas on how to improve this latency by running Exuberant +Ctags in the background so stay tuned! + +Note: If you change this option it won't apply until you restart Vim, so +you'll have to set this option in your |vimrc| script. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_on_cursorhold* option + +As I explained above the plug-in by default doesn't update or highlight your +tags until you stop typing for a moment. The plug-in tries hard to do the +least amount of work possible in this break but it might still interrupt your +workflow. If it does you can disable the periodic update: +> + :let g:easytags_on_cursorhold = 0 + +Note: Like the |g:easytags_always_enabled| option, if you change this option +it won't apply until you restart Vim, so you'll have to set this option in +your |vimrc| script. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_updatetime_min* option + +Vim's |'updatetime'| option controls how often the easytags plug-in is +automatically executed. A lot of popular Vim plug-ins manipulate this option +to control how often they are called. Unfortunately some of those plug-ins set +|'updatetime'| to a very low value (less than a second) and this can break the +easytags plug-in. + +Because of this the easytags plug-in compensates by keeping track of when it +was last executed. You'll get one warning when the plug-in first notices a +very low value of |'updatetime'|, after that the plug-in will shut up (until you +restart Vim) and simply compensate by not executing until its time has come. +If you want to silence the warning message forever, see the |g:easytags_updatetime_warn| +option. + +The default value of Vim's 'updatetime (see |'updatetime'|) option and the +|g:easytags_updatetime_min| option is 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds). + +If you know what you're doing and you really want the easytags plug-in to be +executed more than once every 4 seconds you can lower the minimum acceptable +updatetime by setting |g:easytags_updatetime_min| to the number of +milliseconds (an integer). + +Note that although |g:easytags_updatetime_min| counts in milliseconds, the +easytags plug-in does not support subsecond granularity because it is limited +by Vim's |localtime()| function which has one-second resolution. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_updatetime_warn* option + +Since the easytags plug-in now compensates for low |'updatetime'| values (see +the |g:easytags_updatetime_min| option above) the warning message shown by the +easytags plug-in has become kind of redundant (and probably annoying?). For +now it can be completely disabled by setting |g:easytags_updatetime_warn| to 0 +(false). + +When the feature that compensates for low |'updatetime'| values has proven to be +a reliable workaround I will probably remove the warning message and the +|g:easytags_updatetime_warn| option. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_auto_update* option + +By default the plug-in automatically updates and highlights your tags when you +stop typing for a moment. If you want to disable automatic updating while +keeping automatic highlighting enabled you can set this option to false: +> + :let g:easytags_auto_update = 0 + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_auto_highlight* option + +By default the plug-in automatically updates and highlights your tags when you +stop typing for a moment. If you want to disable automatic highlighting while +keeping automatic updating enabled you can set this option to false: +> + :let g:easytags_auto_highlight = 0 + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_autorecurse* option + +When the |:UpdateTags| command is executed automatically or without arguments, +it defaults to updating just the tags for the current file. If you'd rather +have it recursively scan everything below the directory of the current file +then set this option to true (1): +> + :let g:easytags_autorecurse = 1 + +You have to explicitly enable this option because it should only be used while +navigating around small directory trees. Imagine always having this option +enabled and then having to edit a file in e.g. the root of your home +directory: The 'easytags.vim' plug-in would freeze Vim for a long time while +you'd have to wait for Exuberant Ctags to scan thousands of files... + +Note that when you enable this option the 'easytags.vim' plug-in might ignore +other options like |g:easytags_resolve_links|. This is an implementation +detail which I intend to fix. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_include_members* option + +Exuberant Ctags knows how to generate tags for struct/class members in C++ and +Java source code but doesn't do so by default because it can more than double +the size of your tags files, thus taking much longer to read/write the tags +file. When you enable the |g:easytags_include_members| option from your |vimrc| +script (before the 'easytags.vim' plug-in is loaded): +> + :let g:easytags_include_members = 1 + +Exuberant Ctags will be instructed to include struct/class members using the +'--extra=+q' command line argument and the 'easytags.vim' plug-in will +highlight them using the 'cMember' highlighting group. Because most color +schemes don't distinguish the Identifier and Type (see |group-name|) +highlighting groups all members will now probably look like type definitions. +You can change that by executing either of the following Vim commands (from +your vimrc script, a file type plug-in, etc.): +> + " If you like one of the existing styles you can link them: + highlight link cMember Special + + " You can also define your own style if you want: + highlight cMember gui=italic + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_resolve_links* option + +UNIX has symbolic links [10] and hard links [11], both of which conflict with +the concept of having one unique location for every identifier. With regards +to hard links there's not much anyone can do, but because I use symbolic links +quite a lot I've added this option. It's disabled by default since it has a +small performance impact and might not do what unknowing users expect it to: +When you enable this option the plug-in will resolve symbolic links in +pathnames, which means your tags file will only contain entries with canonical +pathnames [12]. To enable this option (which I strongly suggest doing when you +run UNIX and use symbolic links) execute the following Vim command: +> + :let g:easytags_resolve_links = 1 + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_suppress_ctags_warning* option + +If this is set and not false, it will suppress the warning on startup if ctags +is not found or not recent enough. +> + :let g:easytags_suppress_ctags_warning = 1 + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_ignored_syntax_groups* option + +This variable is a string of comma separated names of syntax groups in which +dynamic highlighting is not applied. It defaults to '.*String.*,.*Comment.*,cIncluded'. + +=============================================================================== + *customizing-easytags-plug-in* +Customizing the easytags plug-in ~ + +Advanced users may wish to customize how the easytags plug-in works beyond the +point of changing configuration defaults. This section contains some hints +about this. If you have suggestions, please feel free to submit them. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Passing custom command line arguments to Exuberant Ctags ~ + +You may want to run Exuberant Ctags with specific command line options, for +example the code_complete [13] plug-in requires the signature field to be +present. To do this you can create a configuration file for Exuberant Ctags, +e.g. '~/.ctags' on UNIX or '%USERPROFILE%\ctags.cnf' on Windows. The file +should contain one command line option per line. See the Exuberant Ctags +manual [14] for details. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Update & highlight tags immediately after save ~ + +By default the easytags plug-in automatically updates & highlights tags for +the current file after several seconds of inactivity. This is done to prevent +the easytags plug-in from interrupting your workflow. + +If you want the easytags plug-in to automatically update & highlight tags for +the current file right after you save the file, you can add the following line +to your |vimrc| script: +> + :let g:easytags_events = ['BufWritePost'] + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +How to customize the highlighting colors? ~ + +The easytags plug-in defines new highlighting groups for dynamically +highlighted tags. These groups are linked to Vim's default groups so that +they're colored out of the box, but if you want you can change the styles. To +do so use a 'highlight' command such as the ones given a few paragraphs back. +Of course you'll need to change the group name. Here are the group names used +by the easytags plug-in: + + - AWK: 'awkFunctionTag' + + - C#: 'csClassOrStructTag', 'csMethodTag' + + - C, C++, Objective C: 'cTypeTag', 'cEnumTag', 'cPreProcTag', 'cFunctionTag', + 'cMemberTag' + + - Java: 'javaClassTag', 'javaMethodTag' + + - Lua: 'luaFuncTag' + + - PHP: 'phpFunctionsTag', 'phpClassesTag' + + - Python: 'pythonFunctionTag', 'pythonMethodTag', 'pythonClassTag' + + - Ruby: 'rubyModuleNameTag', 'rubyClassNameTag', 'rubyMethodNameTag' + + - Shell: 'shFunctionTag' + + - Tcl: 'tclCommandTag' + + - Vim: 'vimAutoGroupTag', 'vimCommandTag', 'vimFuncNameTag', + 'vimScriptFuncNameTag' + +As you can see each of these names ends in 'Tag' to avoid conflicts with the +syntax modes shipped with Vim. And about the singular/plural confusion: I've +tried to match the existing highlighting groups defined by popular syntax +modes (except of course for the 'Tag' suffix). + +=============================================================================== + *easytags-faster-syntax-highlighting-using-python* +Faster syntax highlighting using Python ~ + +The Vim script implementation of dynamic syntax highlighting is quite slow on +large tags files. When the Python Interface to Vim is enabled the easytags +plug-in will therefor automatically use a Python script that performs dynamic +syntax highlighting about twice as fast as the Vim script implementation. The +following options are available to change the default configuration. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_python_enabled* option + +To disable the Python implementation of dynamic syntax highlighting you can +set this option to false (0). + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The *g:easytags_python_script* option + +This option defines the pathname of the script that contains the Python +implementation of dynamic syntax highlighting. + +=============================================================================== + *easytags-troubleshooting* +Troubleshooting ~ + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +|:HighlightTags| only works for the tags file created by |:UpdateTags| ~ + +If you want to create tags files and have their tags highlighted by the +'easytags.vim' plug-in then you'll have to create the tags file with certain +arguments to Exuberant Ctags: +> + $ ctags --fields=+l --c-kinds=+p --c++-kinds=+p ... + +The '--fields=+l' argument makes sure that Exuberant Ctags includes a +'language:...' property with each entry in the tags file. This is required by +the |:HighlightTags| command so it can filter tags by their file type. The +other two arguments make sure Exuberant Ctags generates tags for function +prototypes in C/C++ source code. + +If you have the |g:easytags_include_members| option enabled (its off by +default) then you'll also need to add the '--extra=+q' argument so that +Exuberant Ctags generates tags for structure/class members. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The plug-in complains that Exuberant Ctags isn't installed ~ + +After a Mac OS X user found out the hard way that the 'ctags' executable isn't +always Exuberant Ctags and we spend a few hours debugging the problem I added +proper version detection: The plug-in executes 'ctags --version' when Vim is +started to verify that Exuberant Ctags 5.5 or newer is installed. If it isn't +Vim will show the following message on startup: +> + easytags.vim: Plug-in not loaded because Exuberant Ctags isn't installed! + Please download & install Exuberant Ctags from http://ctags.sf.net + +If the installed Exuberant Ctags version is too old the plug-in will complain: +> + easytags.vim: Plug-in not loaded because Exuberant Ctags 5.5 + or newer is required while you have version %s installed! + +If you have the right version of Exuberant Ctags installed but the plug-in +still complains, try executing the following command from inside Vim: +> + :!which ctags + +If this doesn't print the location where you installed Exuberant Ctags it +means your system already had a 'ctags' executable but it isn't compatible +with Exuberant Ctags 5.5 and you'll need to set the |g:easytags_cmd| option +(see above) so the plug-in knows which 'ctags' to run. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Vim locks up while the plug-in is running ~ + +Once or twice now in several years I've experienced Exuberant Ctags getting +into an infinite loop when given garbage input. In my case this happened by +accident a few days ago :-|. Because my plug-in executes 'ctags' in the +foreground this will block Vim indefinitely! If this happens you might be able +to kill 'ctags' by pressing Control-C (see |CTRL-C|) but if that doesn't work +you can also kill it without stopping Vim using a task manager or the 'pkill' +command (available on most UNIX systems): +> + $ pkill -KILL ctags + +If Vim seems very slow and you suspect this plug-in might be the one to blame, +increase Vim's verbosity level: +> + :set vbs=1 + +Every time the plug-in executes it will time how long the execution takes and +add the results to Vim's message history, which you can view by executing the +|:messages| command. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Failed to highlight tags because pattern is too big! ~ + +If the 'easytags.vim' plug-in fails to highlight your tags and the error +message mentions that the pattern is too big, your tags file has grown too +large for Vim to be able to highlight all tagged identifiers! I've had this +happen to me with 50 KB patterns because I added most of the headers in +'/usr/include/' to my tags file. Internally Vim raises the error |E339|: Pattern +too long and unfortunately the only way to avoid this problem once it occurs +is to reduce the number of tagged identifiers... + +In my case the solution was to move most of the tags from '/usr/include/' over +to project specific tags files which are automatically loaded by Vim when I +edit files in different projects because I've set the |'tags'| option as +follows: +> + :set tags=./.tags;,~/.vimtags + +Once you've executed the above command, Vim will automatically look for a file +named '.tags' in the directory of the current file. Because of the ';' Vim +also recurses upwards so that you can nest files arbitrarily deep under your +project directories. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +The plug-in doesn't seem to work in Cygwin ~ + +If you want to use the plug-in with Vim under Cygwin [15], you need to have +the Cygwin version of Ctags installed instead of the Windows version (thanks +to Alex Zuroff for reporting this!). + +=============================================================================== + *easytags-contact* +Contact ~ + +If you have questions, bug reports, suggestions, etc. the author can be +contacted at peter@peterodding.com.
