vandrlexay/ctags-better-php

clone of official ctags repo with obj-c and css patches added

This is fork of fishman-ctags with better php support. This means php parser in this fork is better for some developers. What it can:

• better matching for class definitions - you will jump on User class definition earlier than for variable named $User.

• better jumping - for each nested var/definition this parser generates two tags:

  tagname

  and

  tagname<Parent>

It dramatically helps when you using find-tag in emacs or so.

For example you have class member called "name", and lots of other classes in your project has same member. So to find tag you type:

name<Class

And jump to needed class. Try it, you'll love it. Especially on monster projects on monster Symfony.

Of course such strategy leads to bigger TAGS files, but comfort worth it.

There how it looks for end-user:
