Ah, so you want to highlight functions and types as you code.

The general problem with scripts is of course the responsiveness of highlighting and/or slowing down of vim with heavy resource allocation. For example, as the author of easytags.vim points out, (I quote from http://peterodding.com/code/vim/easytags/) "... the plug-in automatically generates and highlights tags when you stop typing for a few seconds ... it tries hard to do the least amount of work possible in this break but it might still interrupt your workflow ... ". And if you choose to enable it always, "... Every time you edit a file in Vim, the plug-in will first run Exuberant Ctags and then highlight the tags, and this slows Vim down quite a lot. I have some ideas on how to improve this latency by running Exuberant Ctags in the background so stay tuned! ...". In my view the information needed is yet inside Vim, the problem is identify in which data structures and link it in the proper way.

I admit this is my first entry ever in this mailing list. Well, in reality in any mailing list! Hope it's ok now. Thanks again -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
