It doesn't seem to work for me: it says "no references found" whatever symbol I try, even those I know are referenced. What am I missing? > - If I do have a tags table loaded, it's likely for a different project than Emacs. This is most likely true for the majority of our users. etags.el supports more than one loaded tag table, so this shouldn't be a problem. > I think Eli (and everyone like-minded) should advise elisp-xref-find and xref-identifier-completion-table-function instead, inside their init script, like suggested by Daniel in another thread. Please don't make advice the default Emacs customization method. User options are much easier to use, so let's do what's possible with them, and leave advice etc. for more exotic use cases.
