A neovim plugin that generates and highlight ctags similar to easytags.
I wrote this because I didn't like that my vim froze when opening large projects.
neotags requires Neovim with if_python3, and psutil for Python3.
If :echo has("python3") returns 1 and pip3 list | grep psutil shows the psutil package, then you're done; otherwise, see below.
You can enable Python3 interface and psutil with pip:
pip3 install neovim psutil

To use the_silver_searcher or similar applications when generating tags you can do something like this.
let g:neotags_appendpath = 0
let g:neotags_recursive = 0
let g:neotags_ctags_bin = 'ag -g "" '. getcwd() .' | ctags'
let g:neotags_ctags_args = [
\ '-L -',
\ '--fields=+l',
\ '--c-kinds=+p',
\ '--c++-kinds=+p',
\ '--sort=no',
\ '--extra=+q'
\ ]
