With cscope integrated Vim, I can navigate back using the ctrl-T and see the current tag stack position using :tags . But how do I go forward in the stack? The only thing I could find from the man pages is to go to the function definition (like ctrl-])
Select tag from tag list. You can select a particular tag from the tag list after opening the file in the vim editor by using ctags command. Open any source code in vim editor and type ':tselect' to find out the list of tag list of current source code. Here, the same file, abs_num.py is used to check this command.
The tag stack is created by all your "jump to definition". Each time you do <C-]> , the tag you jump to is added to the tag stack and you are able to use <C-t> or :pop to jump back to the previous tag in the tag stack or :tag to go the other way.

to jump back to the previous tag in the tag stack or :tag
to go the other way. Both :tag
and :pop
take an optional count so :5pop
would go to the fifth previous tag.
See :help tagstack
.
You can also use Ctrl+I and Ctrl+O to move forwards and backwards respectively through the jump list. This works with tag commands since they count as jump movements.

Just adding this answer because I don't have the rep to edit or comment on the accepted answer, but <C-t>
actually corresponds to the :pop
command, not the :tag
command as was stated.
:pop
is for moving "backwards" in the tag stack (will result in 'at bottom of tag stack' message) and is the command with the default keybinding <C-t>
:tag
is for moving "forwards" in the tag stack (will result in 'at top of tag stack' message).
I am not aware of any keybinding for :tag like for moving backwards, so I have mapped (not ) to tag.
