Sorry but --from-here is not such option. Normally it is not used on the command line. I am sorry that the description of the online manual is inadequate. > Alternatly, if it is hard to track the return type of functions, the result > can be sorted that the first item shown is from the same file (when there is a > match). > > Ie, The result then would be: > src/my-source.c > src/my-first-source.c Rather, --nearness option has a close meaning to your suggestion. The --nearness option displays tags closer to the current position first. However, at present, only directory can be specified as an argument. Present specification: --nearness=<directory> How about changing the spec to accept a file as an argument of it? New specification: --nearness=<file or directory> If a file is specified, global gives it the highest priority. Does this meet your requirements?
