Vim:Plugin:SourceExplorer

SrcExpl (Source Explorer) is a source code explorer that provides context for the currently selected keyword by displaying the function or type definition or declaration in a separate window. This plugin aims to recreate the context window available in the IDE known as "Source Insight".

Settings Example 

" // The switch of the Source Explorer 
nmap <F8> :SrcExplToggle<CR> 

" // Set the height of Source Explorer window 
let g:SrcExpl_winHeight = 8 

" // Set 100 ms for refreshing the Source Explorer 
let g:SrcExpl_refreshTime = 100 

" // Set "Enter" key to jump into the exact definition context 
let g:SrcExpl_jumpKey = "<ENTER>" 

" // Set "Space" key for back from the definition context 
let g:SrcExpl_gobackKey = "<SPACE>" 

" // In order to avoid conflicts, the Source Explorer should know what plugins
" // except itself are using buffers. And you need add their buffer names into
" // below listaccording to the command ":buffers!"
let g:SrcExpl_pluginList = [ 
        \ "__Tag_List__", 
        \ "_NERD_tree_" 
    \ ] 

" // Enable/Disable the local definition searching, and note that this is not 
" // guaranteed to work, the Source Explorer doesn't check the syntax for now. 
" // It only searches for a match with the keyword according to command 'gd' 
let g:SrcExpl_searchLocalDef = 1 

" // Do not let the Source Explorer update the tags file when opening 
let g:SrcExpl_isUpdateTags = 0 

" // Use 'Exuberant Ctags' with '--sort=foldcase -R .' or '-L cscope.files' to 
" // create/update the tags file 
let g:SrcExpl_updateTagsCmd = "ctags --sort=foldcase -R ." 

" // Set "<F12>" key for updating the tags file artificially 
let g:SrcExpl_updateTagsKey = "<F12>" 

" // Set "<F3>" key for displaying the previous definition in the jump list 
let g:SrcExpl_prevDefKey = "<F3>" 

" // Set "<F4>" key for displaying the next definition in the jump list 
let g:SrcExpl_nextDefKey = "<F4>"
