Hello folks,
I just started writing a plugin to search/jump to declarations read from ctags/etags files. The current code is hosted in a GitHub repository [1] cloned from the geany-plugins repository. I started this project so I can use Geany to navigate through the code of a project with some thousand files, but I think it may be useful for more people. Are somebody interested?
Hi Alexandre,
I created a similar plugin for similar reasons as you almost a year ago but haven't published it yet (but use it on daily basis). If you are interested, here it is:
The plugin adds "Find Tag Definition" and "Find Tag Declaration" items into the context menu, then adds Project->find tag which pops up a dialog where you can search for a tag by name and finally, you can generate the tags file for the current project. The tags generation depends on my project modification patches, see
http://lists.uvena.de/geany-devel/2011-April/004449.html
namely 4774306b7f65237ef75b01e8d6c8312dcc5c526e, which adds project file patterns into project properties, which are then used to find project files for which tags are generated. I create a sorted tags file which speeds up searches in the tags file but which also means that my plugin won't work properly when an unsorted tags file is used.
Feel free to use any portions of the code if you wish.
Cheers,
Jiri
