A Bit About Vim
If you're not familiar with it yet, Vim is a text editor created by Bram Moolenaar back in 1991. It's great for editing program source code! While it might seem tricky at first, once you get the hang of it with its built-in tutorials and manuals, you'll find it super efficient!
Installation Steps
If you're ready to use Tag List:
- You need to download the taglist.zip. Unzip it into your $HOME/.vim or $HOME/vimfiles folder.
- You should see two files:
plugin/taglist.vim
, which is the main file, anddoc/taglist.txt
, which has all the help info. - Dive into those help pages if you're stuck with installation details!
If you're running into trouble or need to customize settings for your terminal version of Vim, just check out your .vimrc file for adjustments. And don't forget to restart Vim before using Tag List!
