If this doesn’t work, it’s probably because Vim was not built with the system clipboard option. To check, run vim -version and see if +clipboard exists. If it says -clipboard, you will not be able to copy from outside of Vim. For Mac users, homebrew install Vim with the clipboard option. Install homebrew and then run brew install vim.

To install the latest version, use homebrew: brew install vim. Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to make creating and changing any kind of text very efficient.

Installing previous versions of formulae
The supported method of installing specific versions ofsome formulae is to see if there is a versioned formula (e.g.
gcc@7
) available. If the version you’re looking for isn’t available, consider using brew extract
.Quickly remove something from /usr/local
This can be useful if a package can’t build against the version of something you have linked into
/usr/local
.And of course, you can simply
brew link <formula>
again afterwards!Install into Homebrew without formulae
Pre-downloading a file for a formula
Sometimes it’s faster to download a file via means other than thosestrategies that are available as part of Homebrew. For example,Erlang provides a torrent that’ll let you download at 4–5× the normalHTTP method.
Download the file and drop it in
~/Library/Caches/Homebrew
, butwatch the file name. Homebrew downloads files as <formula>-<version>
.In the case of Erlang, this requires renaming the file from otp_src_R13B03
toerlang-R13B03
.brew --cache -s erlang
will print the correct name of the cacheddownload. This means instead of manually renaming a formula, you canrun mv the_tarball $(brew --cache -s <formula>)
.You can also pre-cache the download by using the command
brew fetch <formula>
which also displays the SHA-256 hash. This can be useful for updating formulae to new versions.Installing stuff without the Xcode CLT
This imports the
brew
environment into your existing shell; gem
will pick up the environment variables and be able to build. As a bonus brew
’s automatically determined optimization flags are set.Install only a formula’s dependencies (not the formula)

In Sublime Text 2/3, you can use Package Control to installHomebrew-formula-syntax,which adds highlighting for inline patches.

brew.vim adds highlighting toinline patches in Vim.
Emacs
homebrew-mode provides syntaxhighlighting for inline patches as well as a number of helper functionsfor editing formula files.

Introduction
Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of language objects found in source files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. A tag signifies a language object for which an index entry is available. Vim is the official editor of ctags (No vim plugin required). Plain and simple: ctags lets us jump around our source code using tags and a stack. Free gta 5 for mac. Ctags (specifically Exuberant Ctags, not the BSD version shipped with OS X) indexes source code to make it easy to jump to functions, variables, classes, and other identifiers in (among other editors) Vim (see :help tags).
Prerequisites
- Any Linux based OS with vim
- Source code in any of the ctags supported programming languages
Installation
- Ubuntu
- CentOS
- MacOS
- Windows
How to generate tags file?
cd
to the root directory of your source code- Run Ctags recursively over the entire source code to generate the tags file
- Command to generate tags:
- It would be silly to specify the long command in every source code directory.
~/.ctags
file to our rescue! Just list all the commonly used arguments ofctags
and place it in your home directory and call it.ctags
- If we have a
~/.ctags
file, we can just enter our source code directory andgenerate atags
file using:
NOTE:
- Feel free to exclude any other directories you don’t wish to search.
- Feel free to explore and use the wealth of ctags command options
How to use tags?
- To search for a specific tag and open Vim with its definition, run the following command in your shell:
$ vim -t <tag>
Demo:
Brew Install Vim With Python3
- Open any source file in Vim and use the following basic commands:
Keyboard command Action Ctrl + ]
ORg]
OR:ta[g] Ctrl+rw
Jump to the tag underneath the cursor using the information in the tags file(s) :ts[elect] <tag_name>
List the tags that match <tag_name>
, using the information in the tags file(s). When<tag_name>
is not given, the last tag name from the tag stack is used:pts[elect] <tag_name>
Does :tselect
and shows the new tag in a “Preview” window (horizontal split) without moving the cursorCtrl + w }
OR:ptag Ctrl+rw
Opens a preview window with the location of the tag definition. The cursor does not change its position, so tag stack is not updated Ctrl + wz
OR:pc
Close preview window created by the command Ctrl+w }
Ctrl + w Ctrl + ]
Open the definition in a horizontal split :tn
Jump to next matching tag (If there are multiple matches) :tp
Jump to previous matching tag (If there are multiple matches) Ctrl-t
Jump back up in the tag stack :tags
Show the contents of the tag stack. The active entry is marked with a >
Ctrl+rw
pastes the word under cursor in command mode. It’s just a quick copy paste command in vimDemo
NOTE: vim commands will appear in the bottom left of the screen. Watching the demo in full screen is recommended for laptops.
NOTE:
- I’ve just listed the basic shortcuts and commands that make sense to me and fit my typing speed. There are tons of other shortcuts and similar looking commands in
:help tag
. Feel free to use anything that suits your speed/workflow - Of course there are plenty of plugins out there with bells and whistles. I just don’t like plugins.
tag-regexp
The tag commands also accept a regular expression argument. When using a pattern, case is ignored. If you want to match case, use
C
in the pattern. When the argument starts with /
, it is used as a regex pattern. If the argument does not start with /
, it is taken literally, as a full tag name.Examples::tag main
jumps directly to the tag “main”:tag /^get
jumps to the tag that starts with “get”:tag /Final$
jumps to the tag that ends with “Final”:tag /norm
lists all the tags that contain “norm”, including “id_norm”:tag /Final$C
lists all the tags that end with “Final” (Doesn’t match “Cipher_final” or “SHA_FINAL”)
When the argument both exists literally, and match when used as a regexp, a literal match has a higher priority. For example,
:tag /open
matches “open” before “open_file” and “file_open”.Demo:
Notes:
- People have written whole books just for regex.This demo doesn’t cover the complex patterns
- This demo covers the regular expressions that I use frequently and are simple to remember
- Feel free to try out your complex regex (regex101)

Sample regex searches with vim
Requirement | Command |
---|---|
Search tags containing ‘aes’ | vim -t '/aes' |
Search tags ending with ‘sha1’ | vim -t '/sha1$' |
Search tags beginning with ‘evp’ and ending with ‘sha1’ | vim -t '/^evpw+sha1$' |
Search tags beginning with ‘EVP’ and ending with ‘sha1’(case sensitive) | vim -t '/^EVPw+sha1$C' |
Search tags beginning with ‘evp’, ending with ‘sha1’ and containing ‘aes_xxx’ in between | vim -t '/^evpw+aes_dddw+sha1$' |
Search tags beginning with alphabets (no numbers) and ending with ‘sha1’ | vim -t '/^[a-zA-Z]w+sha1$' |
Keeping the index file up-to-date
The major downside to Ctags is having to manually rebuild that index all the time. There are multiple ways of automating this stuff:
However, here’s an easy one using vim autocommands:Add the following lines to your
~/.vimrc
file.Create a
~/.vimrc
if it doesn’t existWhere,
Mac Vim
Example
If you’re in
openssl
source code directory, add the following lines to crypto/aes/aes_cbc.c
and exit the file using vim command :wq!
Verify
tags
file:Of course it’s going to rebuild the entire index and take a lotof time for large projects. Remember, I said it’s easy (not quick)
