BBEdit + CTags = Awesome
May 1, 2008 – 4:07 pmI posted a complaint a while ago about BBEdit complaining about a few things. I moved onto TextMate for a few weeks, but it lacked some of the powerful BBEdit features I’ve gotten used to.
Then I discovered ctags. I set up a cron on my PHP dev site to rescan my dev folder once an hour. BBEdit automatically discovered my ctags file and gave me the definitions right a right click.
Ctags is available through yum (yum install ctags).
ctags –languages=php –recurse=yes

First of all, ctags is available right inside BBEdit:
/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Resources/ctags
In other words: You don’t have to install anything.

Cool, good to know. In my case, I was doing development primarily on a linux box, and running ctags over the network connection was taking forever. Thanks for the tip.
