[HINT]: ctags is not working for me

[Kunal Chauhan]

Hi Team,

My tags are not working as I do the :

1. ctags -R * or ctags -R.

2. I used set tags? To see my current file tags location and set to set tags = ./tags,  etc means where i am in directory which contains tags.

3. Still not able to go to tags by pressing ctrl and bracket  button

Br,

You should see an error message telling either that the tag was not
found or that there is no tags file. Do you see an error message?

Regards,
Gary

Kunal,

In a quick search of the web, I found that the causes of that
problem include using a non-English (perhaps non-US) keyboard, or
something remapping Ctrl-].

Does it work to search for the tag from your keyboard? That is, try
executing

:tag somekeyword

That should tell us if tags work at all and if the problem might be
with the Ctrl-] key combination.

You might try entering insert mode, typing Ctrl-V, then typing
Ctrl-], and seeing what appears. You should see

^]

usually in blue. Also, executing

:map <C-]>

will show you any mappings of that key.

Gary

Hi Kunal,

I'm glad that much is working.

Under ":help map-listing in my Vim version 8.2.1704, there is no 'd'
option, so I don't know what you mean by that.

But, if when you type Ctrl-V Ctrl-] it shows [, then that may point
to the problem. Try executing this

:map Ctrl-V Ctrl-] <C-]>

where Ctrl-V and Ctrl-] are those literal keys. In other words,
type

:map

and a space, followed by the keys Ctrl-V and Ctrl-] followed by
another space, then the five characters

<C-]>

and hit Enter. That should map whatever your keyboard generates
when you type Ctrl-] to Vim's Ctrl-] command. After doing that,
typing Ctrl-] should jump to the tag.

Regards,
Gary
