How to refresh taglist in vim?

Question

When I make a change to a file, for example, add a function, how can I make the taglist automatically update the \"tag list\" in its windows after I save the change?

Answer 1

I adapted my setup from the C++ code completion vim tip.

map  :!ctags -R --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q .

When needed, I press Ctrl-F12 to regenerate tags.

If you're using vim-taglist, you could add to your .vimrc an autocommand for the BufWritePost event to update the taglist window after every save:

autocmd BufWritePost *.cpp :TlistUpdate
