Fig: Jump to a specific function quickly
Usage 3: Jump to a function defined in another source file
When you encounter a function in a source file that is defined elsewhere, and
you want to go to the function definition, you can do this via two different
methods.
Method 1: If you had the ctags generated for that file, when the cursor is in
the function call pressing CTRL + ] will take you to the function definition.
The tag list window will show the tags for that newly opened file.
Method 2: Open another file also in the same Vim session. Vim will update
the tag list window with the information about that file. Search for that
function name in the tag list window, and press on that function name,
and Vim will take you to the function definition.
Usage 4: Viewing the prototype/signature of functions or variables.
Press ’space’ when the cursor is in the function name or in the variable name
in the tag list window to show the prototype (function signature) of it in the
Vim status bar as shown below.
