To find files, you can use ":ts filename". But you need to pass
the command line option --extra=+f when you build your tags
with exuberant ctags.
This is how I build tags and the cscope DB for vim sources for
example:
=========================================
#!/bin/sh
TMP_FILE=/tmp/build-tags.$$
find ~/sb/vim7/src -name '*.[ch]' -print > $TMP_FILE
ctags -e -L $TMP_FILE --language-force=c --fields=+S --extra=+f+q -f ~/tags
rm -f cscope.*
cscope -i $TMP_FILE -b -q -f ~/cscope.out
rm -f $TMP_FILE
=========================================
in my ~/.vimrc, I have:
set tags=~/tags
if has('cscope')
if filereadable(expand("$HOME/cscope.out"))
cs kill -1
cs add ~/cscope.out
endif
set cscopeverbose
set cscopequickfix=s-,c-,d-,i-,t-,e-,g-
endif
Then I can jump to a file with...
:ts screen.c
Or using cscope, I can also do:
:cs find f screen.c
