Yup. Actually saw this shortly after I posted that line in the other gist, and thought I had commented but it wasn't until I saw your comment that I realized I had never sent it. This is much more consistent than the other one, so kudos . Will be using this for now. Thanks.

Changed so that @field = something translates to field not static field, since that syntax is most often used inside methods to assign fields. It can be used at class level to create static fields, but I think @field: something is the syntax to use instead.

With following valid CoffeeScript code:

class Jola
  constructor: (@misio) ->
    console.log @misio

I get:

ctags: Warning: a.coffee:2: null expansion of name pattern "\3"

This regex does not parse functions containing underscores.
The rest works for me though....
I'm not good enough with regex to change yours to accept underscores in function names.
It would be highly appreciated if you'd add this :)

@Tyderion I think I fixed that, take a look at my fork.

@Gonzih / @Tyderion / @bjornharrtell - I have updated this gist to cover more cases, and documented those cases in my fork: https://gist.github.com/jesstelford/6134172
