Another Etags helm.el interface
This package use `helm' as an interface to find tag with Etags.
it support multiple tag files.
and it can recursively searches each parent directory for a file named
'TAGS'. so you needn't add this special file to `tags-table-list'
if you use GNU/Emacs ,you can set `tags-table-list' like this.
(setq tags-table-list '("/path/of/TAGS1" "/path/of/TAG2"))
(global-set-key "\M-." 'helm-etags-plus-select)
`M-.' default use symbol under point as tagname
`C-uM-.' use pattern you typed as tagname
helm-etags-plus.el also support history go back ,go forward and list tag
histories you have visited.(must use commands list here:)
`helm-etags-plus-history'
List all tag you have visited with `helm'.
`helm-etags-plus-history-go-back'
Go back cyclely.
`helm-etags-plus-history-go-forward'
Go Forward cyclely.
if you want to work with `etags-table.el' ,you just need
add this line to to init file after loading etags-table.el
(add-hook 'helm-etags-plus-select-hook 'etags-table-recompute)
(setq etags-table-alist
(list
'("/home/me/Projects/foo/.*\\.[ch]$" "/home/me/Projects/lib1/TAGS" "/home/me/Projects/lib2/TAGS")
'("/home/me/Projects/bar/.*\\.py$" "/home/me/Projects/python/common/TAGS")
'(".*\\.[ch]$" "/usr/local/include/TAGS")
))
Installation:
Just put helm-etags-plus.el to your load-path.
The load-path is usually ~/elisp/.
It's set in your ~/.emacs like this:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp"))
And the following to your ~/.emacs startup file.
(require 'helm-etags-plus)
No need more.
I use GNU/Emacs,and this is my config file about etags
(require 'helm-etags-plus)
(global-set-key "\M-." 'helm-etags-plus-select)
;;list all visited tags
(global-set-key "\M-*" 'helm-etags-plus-history)
;;go back directly
(global-set-key "\M-," 'helm-etags-plus-history-go-back)
;;go forward directly
(global-set-key "\M-/" 'helm-etags-plus-history-go-forward)
if you do not want use bm.el for navigating history
you could
(autoload 'bm-bookmark-add "bm" "add bookmark")
(add-hook 'helm-etags-plus-before-jump-hook 'bm-bookmark-add)
or (add-hook 'helm-etags-plus-before-jump-hook '(lambda()(bm-bookmark-add nil nil t)))
(setq bm-in-lifo-order t)
then use bm-previous bm-next
and how to work with etags-table.el
(require 'etags-table)
(setq etags-table-alist
(list
'("/home/me/Projects/foo/.*\\.[ch]$" "/home/me/Projects/lib1/TAGS" "/home/me/Projects/lib2/TAGS")
'("/home/me/Projects/bar/.*\\.py$" "/home/me/Projects/python/common/TAGS")
'("/tmp/.*\\.c$" "/java/tags/linux.tag" "/tmp/TAGS" )
'(".*\\.java$" "/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.22/src/TAGS" )
'(".*\\.[ch]$" "/java/tags/linux.ctags")
))
(add-hook 'helm-etags-plus-select-hook 'etags-table-recompute)
