Any plan to support universal-ctags?

I found generate use statement using universal ctags is broken. Any plan to support it?

Hi

The module uses vim's tags support (it uses the :pta command), and doesn't touch the tags file directly. I guess it should work with anything supported by vim :)

I'll try universal-ctags as soon as I find some free time.

I've just tried universal-ctags, and I didn't noticed any issue. Could you give some details about your issue ?

I use ctags -R --languages=php in universal-tags to generate my tag.

For example, when I tried to add use statement for UserInterface,

Old ctags give me this (its correctly on position 1):

  # pri kind tag               file
  1 F   i    UserInterface     src/Domains/User/Contracts/UserInterface.php
               interface UserInterface extends BaseEntityInterface,
  2 F   i    UserInterface     /Users/rahmatawaludin/Code/hydrogen-crm/vendor/kwri/hydrogen-crm-foundation/src/Domains/User/Contracts/UserInterface.php
               interface UserInterface extends BaseEntityInterface,
  3 F   i    UserInterface     /Users/rahmatawaludin/Code/hydrogen-crm/vendor/tymon/jwt-auth/src/Providers/User/UserInterface.php
               interface UserInterface
Type number and <Enter> (empty cancels):

while using universal-ctags give me this (its on 193):

Ho wow :)

It looks like that universal-ctags is generating a tag for every use of an interface or class, by default. Try the --php-kinds parameter:

ctags -R --language=php --php-kinds=cfit

This will generate tags only for classes, functions, interfaces, and traits.

It works. Thanks! :)
