vim-scripts / ttagecho Goto Github PK

This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2055

This plugin is similar to echofunc (vimscript #1735) to which it owes 
much inspiration and two lines of code. echofunc is probably also better 
tested.

It displays some information about the tag under the cursor or mouse 
pointer either in the echo area or as balloon help (see 
|g:ttagecho_balloon_patterns|). If there are more than one tags that 
match, you can loop through the tags by invoking the respective commands 
repeatedly.

If hookcursormoved (vimscript #2037, version >= 0.4) is installed, for 
certain filetypes (see |g:ttagecho_parentheses_patterns|) it will 
display the information in the echo area also if the cursor moves over a 
round parenthesis.

If you don't like the default format for the tags, you can define the 
function TTagechoFormat_{&filetype}(a:tag) that should return some nicely 
formatted information.
