      The Esc key clears the filter in TagsView’s panel, so a different key is needed to switch the focus. Maybe Ctrl+Tab?
      Anyway, what is the code for this? Is it a simple call to ::SetFocus or something more complicated?

        Volunteers are welcome to make the TagsView’s icon/bitmap transparent and to introduce dark versions of the icons/bitmaps for Notepad++'es Dark Mode. I’m not good with images.

          I thought it would operate like the Notepad++ Function List where:

          • ESC in the list view box switches focus to Notepad++ editor component
          • ESC in the filter text box clears it
          • TAB switches between filter text box and list view

          Seems like the last 2 work and the first one is “combined” with the second - as in ESC in either filter text box or list view clears the filter text.

          In any case, the code for ESC to switch focus is simple: https://github.com/vinsworldcom/nppTagsView/commit/e42fe1f2a0f148a5a5b67cc3cf0f88a003e678ca

          I think if you were to implement something like the bullet list above that mimics Notepad++ Function List behavior, you’d need some nuance to it, but where ever the “SetFocus” call would go, the linked commit shows the one-line method I was calling to make it happen.

          Cheers.

            @Vitalii-Dovgan ,

            Great news, thank you very much for the update!

            I tried your dev-build and it works perfectly (64-bit build) but I noticed a slight problem when visiting location on tag double-click.
            I have described it here several years ago and also have fixed it in my temporary build back then - you can find the source in the same link.
            Briefly described, when some lines are folded and you double-click on a tag the location opened might not be scrolled into view or (if folded) will not be visible (will remain folded).

            Good work anyway, thanks again!

                  The most interesting changes:

                  • using in-memory “cache” of tags to invoke ctags only when necessary
                  • new setting “Esc sets the focus to Editor”

                    @Vitalii-Dovgan I’ve been compiling and using your incremental commits and so far so good. I see the “context menu” one, but not sure what that was supposed to do - I don’t see a right-click context menu when trying.

                    In any case, I think you may have extracted what ever little bit of my minor updates that could possibly be useful. Any objections to me deleting my https://github.com/vinsworldcom/nppTagsView repo?

                    Cheers.

                      The “context menu, part 1” was incomplete, I was going to finish it in the “part 2”. However, I noticed some stability issues together with some ideas of refactoring and decided these were more important :)
                      I think I’ll complete these things and upload a new build next week. Anyway, the plugin becomes better and better, so most likely the official version 0.5 will be released in June.

                                  So, what’s next?

                                  I think, the most important is to add a “Go to tag” functionality to be able to go to a function/class/variable under the cursor.

                                  Next, I may steal the images from the Function List (or from some other source) to use them for different entities such as:

                                  • function/method
                                  • variable/member
                                  • class/structure
                                  • namespace

                                  Next, as WinAPI’s TreeView and ListView are not good with really large collections of items, I need to find a way to overcome that. For example, there can be a virtual ListView (where the items are not stored by the WinAPI’s ListView itself), but there is no virtual TreeView.
                                  So what I’m thinking is the following: once there will be the “Go to tag” functionality implemented, there will be no need to have all the items for all the associated files to be shown in the TreeView and ListView right after the parsing. I mean, the TreeView/ListView will show the items (tags) only for the current file, however all the tags for all the files will be present in the memory. And once another associated file is opened either manually or as a result of the “Go to tag”, the corresponding items (tags) for this file will be added to the TreeView/ListView. I.e. the items (tags) will be shown by demand, but the information about these tags will already be present in the memory.
