cscope/ctags navigation in Intellij Idea vim plugin

I am used to navigating code in vim using cscope/ctags style Ctrl + [ for function definition and Ctrl + t to go back. With Intellij Idea's vim plugin enabled, I am still able to do that. However, other cscope commands like Ctrl + \ s don't seem to work.

I could try adding .ideavim to add my own mapping, but I am looking for something that does not require this step.

Solution

  • cscope is not one of the emulated plugins. You can use IntelliJ IDEA navigation to reach that.

    Also, you can map keys to standard idea actions.

    For example, to get all callers of the method you can execute Call Hierarchy action. You can map this action to ctrl-\ s as follows:

    • Search for actions with hierarchy pattern: :actionlist hierarchy
    • Place map <C-\>s :action CallHierarchy<CR> to your .ideavimrc

    If you want this behavior to be the default, you can create a feature request.
