I want to be able to use the xref tools to help me. However, it seems that etags does not tag Fortran variables, which 99% of the time is what I am interested in. It looks like there is a way to tag anything you want using regexps, so I was looking at the fortran.el code to see if maybe I could find the magic regexp for this. But there is a lot going on here in fortran.el that I don't understand yet and I am wondering if somebody might be able to help me figure this out. You may want to try Global (https://www.gnu.org/software/global/) This in turn depends on Universal Ctags (https://ctags.io/), and Pygments (https://pygments.org/) On the Emacs side, I am using ggtags (http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ggtags.html) This combination served me well in many projects.
