Hallo!

I am not an IT professional but a user interested in having the
ability to tag text files with attributes such as keyords from the
text content. If this is possible with VIM or with a plugin to VIM,
then I would like also to be able to put text objects into categories.

For any help on if and how it can be done, I would be very grateful.

Perhaps someone might be able to recommend a site for a comprehensive
VIM tutorial and also a good book on an introduction to VIM.

Thanks again for any help.

Regards, forkinpm.

Hallo"

Having just posted a message 'cry for help' on using VIM for tagging
files here is another request for advice.

I want to use VIm as an outliner with the ability to fold text objects
and not just code sections. I then wish to export the objects to HTML
and have the folded content also visible in terms of folds in HTML.

Is this feasible or just illusory?

Thanks for an wise responses, Regards, forkinpm.

It is possible to do what you are asking for.
   Join the vim user mailing list
   http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim
   and ask both your questions there.

Hi,

First, congrats, taglist is quite a plugin.
It makes my life a lot more enjoyable.

I struggled to get ctags support for autohotkey (see http://
www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27176&highlight=ctags)
Now it works! But I'm not sure about the recursive part.

I have gotten multiple function lists for #include'd files, but I
think I got it by running the command line version of ctags
myself, not through taglist.

Is there any way I can tell taglist to use -R? I think it does
that by default in other languages.

Thanks

You can extend exuberant ctags with regular expressions to generate
tags for text files. For more information about this, refer to

     http://ctags.sourceforge.net/EXTENDING.html

The taglist plugin doesn't pass the "-R" flag to exuberant
ctags. It invokes ctags separately for each file.

You can use the ":TlistAddFilesRecursive" command to add files
present in multiple directories recursively to the taglist.

Hi all,

can taglist be made to open automatically with some file types?

Thanks,
Lorenzo

I was wondering if there was a way to re-order the left hand window so
that the variable list is at the bottom, it is the least useful (to
me) portion of the plugin, so I would like to get it more out of the way.

Thanks!

You can configure the taglist plugin to display only the selected
tag types in the taglist window. For example, if you are interested
in seeing only the functions, you can configure the taglist plugin
to do so.

To do this, you have to set the tlist_<x>_settings variable in your
.vimrc file. Replace <x> with the filetype for the desired language.
For example, to display only the functions defined in a C file,
set the following variable:

     let tlist_c_settings = 'c;f:function'

For more information about this variable and the format of the
value you can set in this variable, refer to

     http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/extend.html

Perfect, that was exactly what I was looking for, actually, you can
use this to reorder as well as delete:

let tlist_php_settings = 'php;c:class;f:function;d:constant;v:variable'

moves the constants and variables below the functions.

Hello!

I'm fairly new to vim, just started using it via the MacVim GUI. I'm
trying to get the taglist plugin to work with the R language. Hope you
can help me out!

Since you might not be familiar with R, here's a little code snippet,
I'm sure you can tell what it does:

firstfun<-function(){
     print("hello")
}
secondfun<-function(){
     print("world!")
}
firstfun()
secondfun()

So, here's what I've done so far:

1. Installed exuberant ctags for Mac via Fink, and installed the
taglist plugin into the ~/.vim directory

2. Created a ctags language definition for R in ~/.ctags :
--langdef=r
--langmap=r:.r
--regex-r=/^[ \t]*([a-zA-z\._]*)[ \t]*(<-|=)\s*function/\1/f,function/

3. Put the snippet above in a file called test.r, and ran "ctags
test.r", which produced a file called tags with these contents:
!_TAG_FILE_FORMAT 2 /extended format; --format=1 will not append ;" to
lines/
!_TAG_FILE_SORTED 1 /0=unsorted, 1=sorted, 2=foldcase/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_AUTHOR Darren Hiebert /dhiebert@.../
!_TAG_PROGRAM_NAME Exuberant Ctags //
!_TAG_PROGRAM_URL http://ctags.sourceforge.net /official site/
!_TAG_PROGRAM_VERSION 5.5.4 //
firstfun test.r /^firstfun<-function(){$/;" f
secondfun test.r /^secondfun<-function(){$/;" f

4. Added a line to the language definition section in the taglist.vim
file:
   let s:tlist_def_r_settings = 'r;f:function'

5. Started vim (either in the terminal or through the GUI) in the
directory where test.r is located, and ran the :TlistToggle command.
The window appears on the left side, with a section for the test.r
file, but the two tags for firstfun and secondfun don't show up.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Enrico

Ah, I just figured it out. It turns out that vim uses the type of
comments to distinguish r from rexx files. Since the sample snippet
didn't have any comments, vim thought it was rexx, and the filetype
wasn't set properly, even though it had been for other r files I tried.
It works fine now. Thanks for making this great plugin!

hello

I installed taglist on windows VIM
everything seems fine, I can see the tag window with
variables/function nice... except that Ctrl-] doesn't work
also, the "tags" file that is created is empty

any hints?

Hello,

I just started using taglist 4.5 with MacVim while working in PHP, and
it is working great. One strange issue is that it doesn't seem to be
skipping commented lines. As a result, lines like these:

     // The public start function which runs the whole thing

     // There will be a separate class for this eventually

cause "which" to show up as a function and "for" to show up as a class
in the taglist. I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi,

I am using exuberant Ctags 5.7, which looks like the newest version.
I'll see what they have to say on the ctags list...

Thanks,
Jason

we have a mixed group of developers.  some use windows and some use
linux.  i am a linux user.  i downloaded latest vim and the taglist
code today.  i have verified exhuberant ctags as..:
Exuberant Ctags 5.5.4, Copyright (C) 1996-2003 Darren Hiebert
   Compiled: Feb 18 2005, 03:22:03
   Addresses: <dhiebert@...>,
http://ctags.sourceforge.net
   Optional compiled features: +wildcards, +regex

the TlistToggle appears to parse the contents of the file correctly
(.asm), pops up the split window OK.  i have noticed that it will only
change the to the proper source line if and only if that line does NOT
have a control M (^M).

after i have done the global substition (:s/^V^M//g), all of the tags
now work as expected.

any ideas on how to fix this??

as soon as i change the file to remove the control M , another windows
user will put them back in.

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a possibility to jump to the
definition of a variable when I am in a java function ? For
example I'm here:
   msg = "do it";

When I move the cursor on "msg" I would like to be able to jump
to its definition which is above the current line. I need to specify
that I'm in java.

Regards.

I use the Tlist_Exit_OnlyWindow option to exit Vim when the taglist is
the only open window.

I use my own autocmd to call TListOpen whenever certain filetypes are
loaded, and then switches back to the file being opened. I don't
remember exactly why, but I'm using the BufWinEnter event to do this
(I remember fooling around with BufWinEnter, FileType, BufRead, etc.
events, and for whatever reason this is the one I settled on).

The autocmd used to implement the Tlist_Exit_OnlyWindow option is
specified as a "nested" autocmd (for good reason, I imagine...possibly
so that VimLeave commands, etc. will fire?)

The function used to implement the option calls bdelete

bdelete will, when the buffer in the current window is deleted, load
another loaded buffer into the window.

If the loaded buffer is a file for which my autocmd fires, the TagList
gets opened again.

The function to implement the close option then calls quit, which
closes the just-opened buffer.

The taglist is again the last window open, therefore the process
repeats. Oh noes!

Granted, there may be a better event for me to use in my own autocmd,
but the underlying problem is going to be there for anybody. I think
it would be a good idea for you to set the eventignore option to
include appropriate events right before the bdelete in the
Tlist_Window_Exit_Only_Window function.

I was able to temporarily fix this problem by wrapping the following
around the bdelete calls:

let l:oldei=&eventignore
set eventignore+=BufEnter
set eventignore+=BufWinEnter
bdelete
let &eventignore=l:oldei

On line 329, there is the following code:

if !exists('s:tlist_sid')
     " Two or more versions of taglist plugin are installed. Don't
     " load this version of the plugin.
     finish
endif

It should be:

if !exists('s:tlist_sid')
     " Two or more versions of taglist plugin are installed. Don't
     " load this version of the plugin.
     let &cpo = s:cpo_save
     finish
endif

Thanks for reporting this problem and the patch. I will make this change
in the next version of the taglist plugin.

Hi All,

I am using Cygwin on Win XP, trying to use TagList with VIM.

Taglist isn't working for me in vim - when I issue :TlistToggle, all I
see in the new split is:

   " Press <F1> to display help
- file name with the full path..

I have tried this on xml and html files and get the same thing.

I have installed exuberant ctags:
-bash3.2 > ctags --version

http://ctags.sourceforge.net
   Optional compiled features: +win32, +regex, +internal-sort

I have the taglist.txt and taglist.vim in place:
-bash3.2 > ls ~/.vim/doc
EnhancedCommentify.txt  taglist.txt  tags
-bash3.2 > ls ~/.vim/plugin/
EnhancedCommentify.vim  closetag.vim  repmo.vim  taglist.vim

I want to use this for Ant xml files, so I have my .ctags file in place.

Hi,

First of all, I apologize if the question is repeated. I've searched
in the mailing list and haven't found any post relating to this issue.

I can't correctly use taglist if the filetype variable is set multiple
filetypes.

In my case my python files have two filetypes:

:set filetype
filetype=python.django

I'm using the "dot" to separate the filetypes as is explained in the
vim manual:

"
 	 When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype
	 names.  Example:
		 /* vim: set filetype=c.doxygen : */ ~
"

If I change the filetype only to python, everything works ok.

Is there anyway to correct this (without changing the filetype)? I've
tried to extend taglist to recognize a new language (python.django)
but the dot isn't legal in the variable:

      tlist_python.django_settings = "......."

Any other suggestion?

Thanks for the attention and thanks for the great work done with taglist!

I believe this only happen if:
- g:Tlist_Show_One_File is set
- switching from a buffer with more tags (more lines in the taglist
window) than the new displayed buffer

I have fixed it by applying the following patch to the latest version
(4.5):

--- plugin/taglist.vim  2008-08-13 19:04:48 +0000
+++ plugin/taglist.vim  2008-08-27 19:24:49 +0000
@@ -4097,6 +4097,12 @@
  " window. Used after entering a tab. If this is not done, then the folds
  " are not properly created for taglist windows displayed in multiple
tabs.
  function! s:Tlist_Refresh_Folds()
+
+    " Not needed when one file is displayed.
+    if g:Tlist_Show_One_File
+      return
+    endif
+
      let winnum = bufwinnr(g:TagList_title)
      if winnum == -1
          return

I have set this to a low value (lower than the default 20) and it
seems to make no difference. I am expecting to see the sublist of
variables, for example, to be somehow truncated with an option to view
the rest.

Also, I have done some counting, and there are more than the default
20 of variables etc. that appear.

Is it just me, or is this feature somehow borked? I've read the plugin
code (but admit I don't really know it) and I could see how some
looping errors could occcur.

Anyone else with this problem?

To test it, all you should have to to is put a line like this in your
.vimrc and you should notice changes right away.

let g:Tlist_Max_Submenu_Items = 15
