AS I understand from reading about editors, the basic idea behind ctags is that when you place your edit cursor on a code object usage (like a function call) and press a hot key, the editor takes you to the code object's definition in whatever file it resides. This originally Unix(?) feature first worked for C and C++ code and header files, but I think works for most languages today.
Many editors today appear to support: Exuberant ctags from source forge. Richard----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamal Mazrui" <empower@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Richard,EdSharp is scriptable with the JavaScript language (the JScript .NET version, which is standards compliant). Would you elaborate on what you mean by ctags?Jamal -----Original Message-----From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of R DingerSent: Monday, March 08, 2010 10:59 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: editor questions I am looking for a new text editor.Has anyone tried the vim editor with jaws or the later Cream exttention to vim? And how well does it seem to work with jaws? I am interested in this editor because I used vi for many years and I know most commands without thinking.Also has anyone tried the Zeuse editor and how well does it work with jaws? I am interested in this editor because it claims to have Python as its scripting language.I know Ken uses boxer and it works well with jaws and has a C based scripting language, so it is also a good candidate.Last but certainly not least, Jamal's EdSharp has some very interesting features, but does it have a scripting language and does it support ctags like many commercial editors?Richard __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
