Description (last modified by angel_il) (diff)

It would be good to have possibility in the mcedit to navigate to function definition. Using for this purpose the utility etags and parse "TAGS" file in the current directory or parent.

For make TAGS do

$find . -type f -name "*.[ch]" | etags -l c --declarations -

Alt+Enter call listbox with files declarations.

I think, need little rework.

As first, etags is a part of big emacs, I propose use ctags instread:

ctags --languages=c -e -R -h '[ch]'

As second, patch little bit dirty. See changeset:8abf76df7c3140e85d2a83391c4ee54bd52a0924

And as third, IMHO works not correctly:

  1. run "ctags --languages=c -e -R -h '[ch]'" on mc source tree
  2. open for edit vfs/samba/lib/username.c:189 (stay on StrnCpy at char 'C')
  3. press ALT+Enter (or ESC,Enter)

list box show not only StrnCpy implementation link. May be, this feature, but as for me this don't intuitive :)

Need to describe new hotkeys:

  • ALT+- (minus) - Go to previous function in navigation list
  • ALT+= (equal) - Go to next function in navigation list

And, of course, Esc,-(minus) and Esc,=(equal) works in parallel to ALT+... hotkeys.

This mean, need to add descriptions in *.hlp files and man-pages.

correct

 ctags -e -R *.[ch]

  • ALT+- (minus) - Go to back in navigation list (like a browser Back)
  • ALT+= (equal) - Go to forward (like a browser Forward)

It will be great if you will provide a user menu entry "Create tags for this directory".
But anyway my vote here.
