How to search the tags file and load it automatically when vim start up

Question

Vim is my favorite editor, when I open a php or python file in vim, the first command is:

set tags=../../../tags

or

set tags=../..         


        

Answer 1

There are a few comments on this particular subject on this question.

Basically, this is supposed to work:

set tags=./tags;/

It starts with a tags file in the current directory and goes up to the root directory.

Type :help tags-option for more details.
