This is all about local jumping within one single page, while global(1) is all about databases across large trees. Also, global(1) requires an external tags file which is not available in man page trees. Once we try to generalize the concept to inter-page jumps, the CTAGS database format is the wrong one, too. It is intended for source code, not manual pages. The database we would have to interface with would be the apropos(1) database, mandoc.db(5). That said, maybe you are right there are some similarities of the task, so comparing concepts and code may help to get the design right. Yours, Ingo
