Hi, Let say I want to quickly browse through all the source files in a given directory. What I tried was I ran ctags -R source_dir, which builds a tag file for the entire source. When I start vim in that directory and view files in the sub directories, tag works just fine. But when I go into other directory(outside of vim), since there is no tag file there, I can't use the tag feature anymore. I could ran ctag in all sub directories, but then I won't be able to search for functions that are define outside of the sub directory. So what's the proper way to use ctag? PS: anybody know how to redefine the ctag path for vim? I downloaded the latest from source forge but my admin said I can't replace the one in /usr/bin... thanks!
