Hi! First of all - Vaxe is impressive! I've started to learn vim for only one reason - vaxe is pretty stable, project/build system support is awesome (flow is here already!).

There is any plans on ctags improvements?

  1. For example, adding override to function ctag?
  2. Adding private keyword to typedef/class/interface declaration?
  3. Adding abstract declaration?
  4. Default var _privateField doesn't work now, do you suggest use implicit private var _privateField?
  5. When call vaxe#Ctags()? Do you suggest to use keymapping, or default is already here? Or maybe it's automatically called when build targets changed?
  6. Is it the latest ctags provided by you for Haxe 3 ?

thanks for the kind words!

I just pushed a fix to vaxe for ctags. The command :VaxeCtags should work properly now. My own config was calling the method directly, so I never noticed. If you sync, it should work fine.

Ctags could definitely use some improvement. It's a bit frustrating because you can't really capture all of the syntax of haxe with simple regexes. I've been spending more time trying to find a replacement.

I started with an older ctags version (referenced in the readme acknowledgements), and have been polishing it as I go. They should be haxe 3 compatible.

I just updated the ctags definition in the readme, and added support for abstracts. I think that covers what you were asking. Thanks for clearly enumerating them! You can re-open this if I miss something.
