previewtag is a Vim plugin that enables previewing of definitions and switching to a new window effortlessly.
Previewtag is a Vim plugin that offers users the ability to preview definitions and switch them to a new window. This software proves to be quite useful because it opens the definition of functions and variables in a preview window upon demand. Moreover, it provides four commands that allow users to close the preview window, delete the buffer in preview window, and switch the buffer in preview window to a new window.
One of the best things about previewtag is its simplicity. The commands are straightforward and easy to use. For instance, the Pshow command opens the definition of the current word in the preview window while the Pdelete command deletes the buffer showing in the preview window. Similarly, the PshowORdelete command deletes the current buffer if the cursor is in preview window, and opens the definition of the current word in preview window otherwise. Lastly, the Pswitch command closes the preview window and opens the buffer in a new window.
Aside from these commands, Vim also provides a "pclose" command that allows users to close the preview window without deleting the buffer. Furthermore, developers can adjust the preview settings by uncommenting the last line of the script to automatically preview the tag.
To install the previewtag plugin, users simply need to put previewtag.vim in their vim plugin directory. Additionally, key maps are recommended for easy access, like F5 for PshowORdelete, S-F5 for Pdelete, C-F5 for pclose and F6 for Pswitch.
Overall, previewtag proves to be a useful addition to any Vim user's toolkit. Its easy-to-use commands and ability to preview definitions make it a must-have plugin for developers.
