Then how about finding out the line number using the line text
extracted from ctags? Anyway, you would need to call ctags any
time a line changes, unless you know that the user didn't type a
function or something similar.

I keep thinking that ctags would be better run on single files,
creating filename.ctags. It is also much better for cases like the
setedit project I have on the root of the allegro tree: I point
to about 20 files from different tree locations, and running
ctags on the whole tree to find out about 10 files (the other
are documentation sources) is excessive. With this latter case it
wouldn't be so terrible to run ctags every time you press Alt+F2:
one run for a single file.

Another possibility would be to add a "refresh ctags" button in
the alt+f2 menu, since it's clearly an external feature of setedit.
