An earlier article on ctags and cscope may be a good starting point for the current one.
Source Insight is a very popular code editor cum browser on Windows and can be used on Linux over Wine as well. However, the same can be done using vim with some practice. The Trinity plugin for vim does it all. Trinity makes 3 more plugins work in unison to deliver you an IDE like experience. You can have the similar look and feel and functionality of Source Insight over vim at a reduced number of CPU cycles. And when using remotely… heaven!
Transform vim into the most powerful and lightweight IDE you ever used!
