Trying to go to the definition of class/function in vim

Question

Hi,

i have installed vim 7.2 and ctags 5.8 and created the tags file with "ctags -R /foopath".

I have many methods that are called with the same name in several classes, so if i put the cursor in a function calling and i execute ":tag" it shows the first of the tags listed. If the i execute ":tn" several times i finally find the method..

So my question is: is there any way to show directly the path where is the class that contains the right method im calling?

Regards

Javi

Answer 1

:tselect tagname will give you a list of matching tags, and you can enter the number of the tag you want.

:stselect tagname will split the window first.

You can also put the cursor on a word and enter g] to get a list of tags matching that word.

<CTRL-W>] will split the window and go to the first tag matching the word under the cursor.

<CTRL-W>g] will split the window and give you the list of matches.
