Re: [Ctags] File tags and vim: jump to last position.

[J.D. L. <ct...@la...>]

  

If the original post was a request for an option to customize the
ex_cmd for file entries, the first bug listed at
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html#BUGS [5] is relevant: "CTAGS has
more options than LS(1)." Adding another seems a step in the wrong
direction. 

For those wants to customize the ex_cmd to a specific vim
command "singlequote doublequote" instead of the positioning command
"1", confirm that vim is the only consumer of your tag file (not the
case in all shops, like mine), then try either of these barely-tested
commands: 

perl -p -i -e 's@^(([^t]+t){2})1;@$1x27";@' tags 

or 

perl
-F't' -i -ape '$F[2]=s@1;@x27";@' tags

hence the tag's "location" is line 1, so it's going to line 1, which is
exactly where it should go.
