I know there's a few people here that use Vim, so has anyone succesfully used the taglist.vim plugin with D?

Ctags work for me (on XP), but I can't get taglist to work with D. It does work with C/CPP files, but it seems to ignore D files.

I'm asking before I try to modify the plugin, because either I have ctags set up wrong for D, or taglist simply won't work with D files, and there's a function in there called "function! s:Tlist_Skip_File(filename, ftype)" which looks tempting to modify.

I can use ctags on D files already but not with the taglist plugin itself.

P.S. I've uploaded a new Ctags Windows binary on the prowiki page, and added .di as another D file extension (i'll put up the patch later). I'm not sure how up-to-date the D2 support is in that 5.8 patch, for example some template functions are ignored in ctags. So I might update these soon.

Got it working! I just needed to create an extra variable for taglists. I'm using this:

let tlist_d_settings='d;c:classes;d:macro definitions;e:enumerators (values inside an enumeration);f:function definitions;g:enumeration names;l:local variables [off];m:class, struct, and union members;M:module;n:namespaces;p:function prototypes [off];s:structure names;t:typedefs;T:templates;u:union names;v:variable definitions;x:external and forward variable declarations [off];X:mixin;V:conditional compilation'

You can choose your own from the list ctags gives you with: ctags --list-kinds=d

And more docs here: http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/extend.html

I'll add this to prowiki.

Done: http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?EditorSupport/VimEditor

And it appears I was wrong because I can actually list template functions, I just didn't use a format specifier before.
