I am an extreme noob when it comes to emacs. I was getting tired of the lag
of using remote desktop to use my gui editor of choice ... SlickEdit. So
now I am using ssh and running emacs.
One of the great things that Slick edit did was tagging. You could put your
cursor on an item and hit Ctrl-. to go to it's definition. If there were
multiple possible definitions it would pop up a window with all of the
possibilities and let you chose. It would also remember where you navigated
from and a simple Ctrl-, would take you back.
SlickEdit would also automatically update your tagfile when you changed a
file and the latest version would even do this retagging in the background.
I am trying to get tagging working for me in emacs. I am using exuberent
ctags. I know that the M-. command takes me to the definition. However,
since I am working on an Android tree there is a multilevel directory
structure and every time I want to use the tags I have to specify the
directory its in.
Is there a way to invoke emacs indicating the path to TAGS so that I don't
have to specify it every time.
Also, is there a way to be able to navigate back after using M-. and to
have the TAGS updated when you save a file.
thanks,
Lowell Dennis
