vim-lookup

This plugin is meant for VimL programmers. It jumps to definitions of variables, functions, and commands as if tags were used, without needing a tags file. It simply uses your runtimepath.

• s:var
• s:func()
• <sid>func()
• autoload#foo#var
• autoload#foo#func()
• 'autoload#foo#func'
• Command

Sometimes a function foo#func() is not found in autoload/foo.vim but plugin/foo.vim. This case is handled as well.

It also works for global functions if they're defined or found in the current file:

• GlobalFunc()
• g:GlobalFunc()

Usage

• Use lookup#lookup() to jump to the defintion of the identifier under the cursor.
• Use lookup#pop() (or the default mapping <c-o>) to jump back.

Configuration

autocmd FileType vim nnoremap <buffer><silent> <cr>  :call lookup#lookup()<cr>

Alternatively, you can replace the default mappings Vim uses for tagstack navigation:

autocmd FileType vim nnoremap <buffer><silent> <c-]>  :call lookup#lookup()<cr>
autocmd FileType vim nnoremap <buffer><silent> <c-t>  :call lookup#pop()<cr>
