My VIM CTAGS Cheatsheet
The longer I work with computers and software development the more I fall in love with a VIM based workflow. Recently I’ve discovered the joys of CTAGS. This is a simple cheatsheet to help me as I’m initially learning to integrate this tool into my workflow. Perhaps you’ll find it useful as well.
Generating Tags
The tags can be generated by simply running:
ctags -R
