How to use...

You can add the file to the User Package in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages and restart Sublime Text 2. Don't forget to generate the .tags file as explained in the comments.

Hey there ;)
Nice piece of code.
Since i'm not very fluent in python and the command line for regex operations, may I ask you a question :
Is it possible to return function's argument like so : fonction_name($args1, $arg2, $so_on)

Thanks a lot!

Awesome!!

:) You could make a plugin of it and add it to package controle to sublime! (http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control)

How to run this under windows?

You can use this improved version (for windows) to look in all your project folders. Also you will need to download Grep and Gawk for windows (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html) and add the installed folder to your system PATH and restart windows before try it.

It works, but it's a bit slow for big tags files. I wonder if there's something from the actual ctags plugin you might be able to use to speed it up?

removing -i improves performance considerably, see my fork if needed.

I am the maintainer of the CTags plugin. It would be by far best to integrate this into that plugin, rather than use a separate one. It keeps a dict loaded in RAM, and also sorts the tags file for easier lookup.

It already has a command to list all tags in the quick panel. I think this could tack onto that pretty easily. It just needs to load this list into the completions. I also had filed ticket to add support for ./-> completions (SublimeText/CTags#75). That will be a bit more involved, but along the same vein, and definitely desirable.

I tried this and got ctags: illegal option -- R in Terminal.

@barneywilliams gettings this in CTags would be great.

Cool! It's great !

@Grawl this is because you are using the Mac OS X shipped version of ctags. Install ctags from homebrew and use the one located at /usr/local/bin/ctags.
