Vim and ctags: tag filenames

Question

Is it possible to have ctags generate tags for filenames as well? I would like to be able to jump to a file given a filename. :find seems to be awfully slow compare to tags...

Answer 1

Try running ctags -R --extra=f .

The --extra=f option tells ctags to:

"Include an entry for the base file name of every source file (e.g. "example.c"), which addresses the first line of the file."

When you open vim, you can the use :tag <filename> to jump to the first line of the file.
