Tagbar is a Vim/NeoVim plugin that shows a sidebar displaying ctags-generated tags of the current file, ordered by scope, to give an overview of its structure. It generates tags on-the-fly in memory and requires a ctags implementation such as Universal Ctags.
Use cases
- browse the structure of the current file in vim
- show a class outline sidebar in neovim
- navigate methods and functions in a large source file
- view c++ class methods grouped under their class
- toggle a tag sidebar with a keyboard shortcut
- jump to definitions from an outline view
When to choose
- you use Vim or NeoVim and want a file structure outline
- you want on-the-fly tag generation without managing tags files
- you need scope-ordered navigation like methods under classes
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose tags file manager (use vim-gutentags instead)
- you want an IDE-style project-wide symbol search
- you don't want to install a ctags implementation
