To: John Yates Hi John, I have been using Exuberant Ctags 5.6, Copyright (C) 1996-2004 Darren Hiebert. I create a tags file in my source tree with the command % ctags -R . My .emacs has (load "~/vtags") (global-set-key [f12] 'vtags-find); (global-set-key [kp-next] 'vtags-next-placeholder); (global-set-key [kp-end] 'vtags-prev-placeholder); (global-set-key [kp-multiply] 'vtags-point-to-placeholder) Let me know if you have any questions. -Edward On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 6:27 PM, Edward Bishop wrote: > Got busy today, I'll try to get to it tomorrow. > > > On Saturday, August 24, 2013, Edward Bishop wrote: > >> Oops, I meant to say etags compatibility, not gtags compatibility. >> >> >> On Sat, Aug 24, 2013 at 10:27 AM, Edward Bishop >> wrote: >> >>> Hi John, >>> I would be delighted if someone would take ownership! >>> I have a couple of versions.
