1. Meet ctags The Vim user's guide to tags, navigation and everything. By Oliver Caldwell
2. Tags? <div> (sorry about the meta)
3. Retracing your steps :tags Previous - CTRL-T / :pop Next - :tag Push - CTRL-]
4. Multiple results? :tnext + :tprevious ]t + [t with tpope/vim-unimpaired
5. So much more Google: "vim wiki browsing programs with tags"
6. What's ctags then? sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags brew install ctags (pain may will vary between platforms)

8. Make Vim use .tags set tags+=.tags
9. Making it less awkward c o m m a n d ! G e n e r a t e T a g s c a l l s y s t e m ( ' c t a g s - R f . / . t a g s - - e x c l u d e = . g i t . / c o m p o n e n t s ' ) | e c h o n m a p < F 5 > : G e n e r a t e T a g s < C R >
10. But wait, there's more! --python-kinds=-i `cat .srclist` . / a s s e t s / * * / * . j s . / * * / * . p y
11. Hello? Yes, this is command line v i m + G e n e r a t e T a g s + q a
