  Liftweb + ctags + vim 

  [Updated: 2008/12/10]

  This is how I set up /Lift/, ctags, and vim (on OS X and Ubuntu):

  Add some scala definition to ctags:

  ty@Astra:~$ cat /home/ty/.ctags
  --langdef=scala
  --langmap=scala:.scala
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*class[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/c,classes/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*trait[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/t,traits/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*type[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/T,types/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*def[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_\?]+)/\1/m,methods/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*val[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/C,constants/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*var[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/l,local variables/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*package[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_.]+)/\1/p,packages/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*case class[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/c,case classes/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*final case class[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/c,case classes/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*object[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/o,objects/
  --regex-scala=/^[ \t]*private def[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/pd,defs/
  

  Build the tags file:

  ty@Astra:~$ /opt/local/bin/ctags -h ".scala" -R --exclude=*.js -f liftags /Users/tjweir/g/clean/liftweb/
  

  I prefer to keep the tags file, in this case liftags, in the root of home. Put it where you want.

  Add the tags location to ~/.vimrc

  set tags=/home/ty/liftags
  

  Now you can open a file and execute

  :tag LiftSession

  and jump to the file.
