Clojure & Vim & Ctags (oh my!)

[Alan Thompson]

Hi,

I've been using Clojure & Vim for a year now, with fireplace, etc.  However, it seems that Exuberant Ctags is a bit crippled since I have not found a way to make it understand namespace aliases. In my current work it seems that nearly every function is in a separate namespace with a namespace alias.  

Unless there is already a tool (or a ~/.ctags regex) to do that, I was thinking about writing a lein plugin (in clojure) to decode namespace aliases in the (ns...) form and create a tags file from scratch. About a year ago (in a previous job), I had to write a similar tool (in Groovy) to create the tags file for PL/I code, so I'm familiar with the ctags file format.

Any thoughts?

You can sidestep a huge headache by just using Fireplace's ]d instead.

[Alan Thompson]

OK, cool.  I didn't know about that before.

I see that it prints the function definition, but it doesn't jump to the file like crtl-].  Is there something equivalent in fireplace?

OK, I found the 'gf' command described at http://clojure-doc.org/articles/tutorials/vim_fireplace.html

Still missing my crtl-] ...

So, 'K' is working, as is '[d'.    For some reason '[<crtl-D>' doesn't work for me.

Also, 'gf' works for the symbol (with NS alias) under the cursor, but I can't seem to find a way to jump back (like crtl-T).

I'm really late to reply, but you can always use <Ctrl-O> to jump back to previous cursor position, it will go back through visited buffers too.
