Vim + ctags

I am on my Ubuntu Linux box. I have started using vim and ctags to traverse my source code.

Installation:

• Installed vim and ctags. "sudo apt-get install vim" and "sudo apt-get install ctags".

Source Tagging:

• In source directory "ctags -R *" and edit source file with "vim sourcefile.c"
• If it throws error messages like "ctags: skipping asm: it is not a regular file." , it means  you're not running Exuberant Ctags, you're running GNU Emacs etags, which also provides a ctags executable. Run ctags --version and you'll see something like this:   

• ctags (GNU Emacs 23.1)
  Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  This program is distributed under the terms in ETAGS.README

   In this case, install ctags with this command "sudo apt-get install ctags" command

Important Commands:

1. Find some symbol: use "/symbolname" e.g. I wanted to search disassembly I gave command "/disassembly".
2. Go to definition:  Ctrl + ]
3. Go Forward: Ctrl + i
4. Go Backward: ctrl + o
5.
