The "Tag List" plugin is a source code browser plugin for Vim and provides an overview of the structure of source code files and allows you to efficiently browse through source code files for different programming languages. You can visit the taglist plugin home page for more information: http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net You can subscribe to the taglist mailing list to post your questions or suggestions for improvement or to report bugs. Visit the following page for subscribing to the mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/taglist/ For more information about using this plugin, after installing the taglist plugin, use the ":help taglist" command.
install details
1. Download the taglist.zip file and unzip the files to the $HOME/.vim or the $HOME/vimfiles or the $VIM/vimfiles directory. After this step, you should have the following two files (the directory structure should be preserved): plugin/taglist.vim - main taglist plugin file doc/taglist.txt - documentation (help) file Refer to the |add-plugin|, |add-global-plugin| and |runtimepath| Vim help pages for more details about installing Vim plugins. 2. Change to the $HOME/.vim/doc or $HOME/vimfiles/doc or $VIM/vimfiles/doc directory, start Vim and run the ":helptags ." command to process the taglist help file. Without this step, you cannot jump to the taglist help topics. 3. If the exuberant ctags utility is not present in your PATH, then set the Tlist_Ctags_Cmd variable to point to the location of the exuberant ctags utility (not to the directory) in the .vimrc file. 4. If you are running a terminal/console version of Vim and the terminal doesn't support changing the window width then set the 'Tlist_Inc_Winwidth' variable to 0 in the .vimrc file. 5. Restart Vim. 6. You can now use the ":TlistToggle" command to open/close the taglist window. You can use the ":help taglist" command to get more information about using the taglist plugin.

taglist_46.zip | 4.6 | 2013-02-27 | 6.0 | Yegappan Lakshmanan | 1. Fixed a bug in refreshing the folds in the taglist window when switching between Vim tabs with Tlist_Show_One_File enabled. 2. Update the TlistShowTag command output to display the tag scope. 3. Preserve the alternate file when opening the taglist window. 4. Restore the 'cpo' option value properly when the loading of the plugin is stopped. 5. When the plugin is recursively sourced, don't change the 'cpo' setting to the default value. 6. If a filetype contains multiple file types separated by a dot, then use the first file type. 7. When displaying tag prototypes, trim the output to fit the window width. 8. Add support for some more languages. 9. Disable the 'relativenumber' option for the taglist window. 10. On MS-Windows, use writefile() to generate the temporary batch file instead of the redir command. This fixes a problem in using the generated batch file in multi-byte encoding environments.
taglist_45.zip | 4.5 | 2007-09-21 | 6.0 | Yegappan Lakshmanan | Fix an extra space in the check for exctags. Refresh the taglist window folds after entering a tab.

taglist_44.zip | 4.4 | 2007-05-25 | 6.0 | Yegappan Lakshmanan | The following fixes are made in this release: 1.

taglist_42.zip | 4.2 | 2006-11-14 | 6.0 | Yegappan Lakshmanan | 1. After opening a file with no tags defined in it with the Tlist_Compact_Format option set, if the tags are updated, the folds used for the files following the empty tags file are affected. 2. On MS-Windows, use a "taglist.cmd" temporary file to run exuberant ctags. This is to handle space characters in the file names and in the exuberant ctags path name. 3. In the taglist window, when a file is re-sorted or updated open the fold for the file. 4. When the 'shellxquote' option is set to double quotes, escape double quotes in the command executed for exuberant ctags. 5. On FreeBSD, exuberant ctags is installed as exctags, look for exctags in the PATH. 6. If two taglist plugins are present (one in the system Vim directory and another in the user's .vim/plugin directory), then the plugin in the users's .vim directory overrides the version in the system vim directory. 7. When the :TlistMessages command is issued display the debug messages in a taglist.txt buffer. 8. Clear the readonly option for the taglist buffer 9. When opening a selected file, don't use the preview window, if present.

New features: Support for displaying the tag prototype as a tooltip. Support for specifying additional commands after the taglist commands using the bar separator.
