To be blunt I never really bothered to investigate the "right way" to
use ctags. I simply looked for a way that works for my use case. That
being said, I can tell you how I use ctags.
Some page somewhere (I found it again, see the end of my post) suggested
to use the .git directory of a project to store the tags file, which I
thought was the best solution, given that then the tags would always be
project specific. I use the Tags to move between files with CtrlP, so I
liked this approach. Basically it uses local githooks to produce the tag
file on every major git operation like commit etc.
This is the website that I followed the instructions of:
http://tbaggery.com/2011/08/08/effortless-ctags-with-git.html
It also addresses your question about one way to call ctags (which works
for me at least).

Sorry for the noise, which it is the right way to generate the file
tags? in .julia/ ?
with the command:
`ctags -R .`

Makes sense. I don't use C-], I use the CtrlP plugin to jump
around in a project. I included the first parameter, so that CtrlP
has an easier time finding the unique match

I gave this ago and my experience was:
TagBar worked and looked great!
jump to tag (C-] in vim) did not work. This seemed to be a result
of including the parameters in the tag. If I manually removed
them from the tags file, tag jumping would start working again. I
won't pretend to know the internals of what VIM and TagBar are
doing differently here. I haven't had time to dig any deeper.

Thanks Christof,
I've been meaning to get around to doing this myself, so
you've saved me some time. I'm testing it out right now.
Cheers,

I made myself a custom one based on the one from the

multiple categories and also allow functions to be marked
inline
I posted a gist of it for those interested

Hi!
Are there any VIM users here who have a nice
[tagbar](https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar) going?
For the tagbar to work properly one needs to have a
Julia language
definition for
[ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/). I have found one
[here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/contrib/ctags)
that nicely lists all the functions, which is great,
but I wonder if
anyone has already put in the additional effort and
created a custom one
that also lists types, and macros etc. Would be much
appreciated.
