The taglist plugin supersedes the tags menu plugin. The taglist plugin integrates the functionality of the tagsmenu plugin. The taglist plugin displays the list of tags defined in the current file in the "Tags" menu (in GUI Vim). The taglist plugin provides much more functionality than the tagsmenu plugin. You can download it from: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=273 You can get more information about the taglist plugin from the following page:     http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net The tags menu plugin is no longer maintained. Overview The "Tags Menu" plugin provides the following features: 1. Creates a "Tags" menu containing all the tags (variables, functions,    classes, methods, macros, etc) defined in the current file. 2. Creates a popup menu with the contents of the "Tags" menu. This popup    menu can be accessed  by right clicking the mouse. 3. Groups the tags by their type and displays them in separate submenus. 4. The "Tags" menu can be sorted either by name or by line number. 5. When a tag name is selected from the "Tags" menu, positions the cursor    at the definition of the tag. 6. Automatically updates the "Tags" menu as you switch between    files/buffers. 7. If the number of tags in a particular type exceeds a configurable limit,    splits the menu for that tag type into one or more submenus. 8. Supports the following language files: Assembly, ASP, Awk, C, C++,    Cobol, Eiffel, Fortran, Java, Lisp, Make, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python,    Rexx, Ruby, Scheme, Shell, Slang, TCL, Verilog, Vim and Yacc. 9. Runs in all the platforms where the exuberant ctags utility and Vim are    supported (this includes MS-Windows and Unix based systems). 10. Will run only in the GUI version of Vim. 11. The ctags output for a file is cached to speed up updating the "Tags"     menu. This script relies on the exuberant ctags utility to get the tags defined in a file. You can download the exuberant ctags utility from http://ctags.sourceforge.net. The exuberant ctags utility must be installed in your system to use this plugin. You should use exuberant ctags version 5.3 and above.  There is no need for you to create a tags file to use this plugin. Configuration By changing the following variables you can configure the behavior of this script. Set the following variables in your .vimrc file using the 'let' command. The script uses the Tmenu_ctags_cmd variable to locate the ctags utility. By default, this is set to ctags. Set this variable to point to the location of the ctags utility in your system:           let Tmenu_ctags_cmd = 'd:\tools\ctags.exe' If a file contains too many tags of a particular type (function, variable, etc), greater than a configurable limit, then the tags menu for that tag type will be split into sub-menus.  The default limit is 25.  This can be changed by setting the Tmenu_max_submenu_items variable:           let Tmenu_max_submenu_items = 20 If the number of tags of a particular tag type is more than that specified by Tmenu_max_submenu_items setting, then the tags menu for that tag type will be split into sub-menus. The name of the submenu is formed using the names of the first and the last tag entries in that submenu. Only the first Tmenu_max_tag_length characters from these names will be used to form the submenu name. Change the Tmenu_max_tag_length setting if you want to include more or less characters:           let Tmenu_max_tag_length = 10 By default, the tag names will be added to the menu in the order in which they are defined in the file. You can alphabetically sort the tag names in the menu by selecting the "Sort menu by->Name" menu item. You can also change the default order by setting the variable Tmenu_sort_type to "name" or "order":           let Tmenu_sort_type = "name" This script will not work in 'compatible' mode.  Make sure the 'compatible' option is not set. This script depends on the file type detected by Vim. Make sure the Vim file type detection (:filetype on) is turned on.
