When I build/update my tags file, ctags starts at the current directory and works its way down recursively.
I would like for it to also include a completely different search path, a mapped network drive, and add those results to my tags file as well.
Is there any way to do that?
In vim, one can do like below to include the tags file from other directories as well.
:set tags+=/path/to/other/dir/tags
NOTE: Add the tag filename at the end, else there will be "tag not found" error. By default the name is tags but it could be renamed with -f option as below to my_tags when generating it in cli.
$ ctags -f my_tags -R
Now, in vim do
:set tags+=/path/to/other/dir/my_tags
where my_tags is the name of the tag file.
This way any number of tags file can be updated within vim to access them through Ctrl + ] or :tag fnName or similar.
