How to use etags-select         


Author: Rafal Kurcz

Hello
I load TAGS table with "visit-tags-table"
Then place the cursor on a function name "Action()" in a C code and
execute:
etags-select-find-tag-at-point

I receive the following information at the bottom of the screen:
No exact match for tag "Action"

Of course there are many functions with "Action()" name in my source
code.
I expect etags-select to show the list where I can choose the proper
function definition to jump to.
Is it right ?

How to display such a list of function definitions to jump to, based
on the tag the cursor is currently placed on ?

Thank You for help

I've updated etags-select to work with the different tag types generated
by etags. See the wiki page ...

Now the numbering of tags is very, very useful. Below are my
conclusions about using etags-select:
1. It is very nice that it takes advantage of searchable mini buffer -
especially in case of the long list of tags. ...
