plugin to vim that shows definition of function/macro/struct in a popup box?

Im using vim with ctag+tagbar plugin to navigate through kernel code and its amazing ! Thanks to a guide I saw here.

I read here about some nice shortcuts for ctags that helps a lot, but I couldnt find a way that a definition(of structs/function etc) would show in popup box - something like eclipse ide.

Is there a way to do so with ctag? is there a plug-in I can add to vim that would that ? so when the mouse cursor(or also keyboard cursor) on function a popup box next to it will show?

Thanks!

Solution

  • Generally, you should avoid trying to use Vim as an IDE. It's meant to be a modular text editor.

    Having said that, if you are looking for eclipse functionality inside of Vim, you may want to consider eclim. Another good set of plugins are the Clang based tools, like clang-format and YouCompleteMe.
