Kakoune provides thectags.kak script, but this won't work with out of the box ctags from sourceforge.net. It relies on the readtags command that is available in universal-ctags, but not installed by default. The easiest way would be to use ctags fromhttp://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags which will install the readtags command.
Use the followinghook to search for atags file in the current directory, then parent directories, until found or the home or root directory is reached.
hook global KakBegin .* %{ evaluate-commands %sh{ path="$PWD" while [ "$path" != "$HOME" ] && [ "$path" != "/" ]; do if [ -e "./tags" ]; then printf "%s\n" "set-option -add current ctagsfiles %{$path/tags}" break else cd .. path="$PWD" # Replace any instances of repeated '/' with a single '/' path=`echo "$path" | tr -s /` fi done }}This is equivalent to vim's:set tags=./tags; option.
This makesC-] look up the symbol under the cursor, similarly to vim:
map global normal <c-]> <a-i>w:ctags-search<ret>UseC-o as usual to go back.
