Symbol Seeker (vscode-symbol-seeker)

A simple VSCode Extension, that allows fast fuzzy search for symbols & files of the current workspace -- all in the same interface!

It archives that by creating, parsing, caching & searching cTags for the current workspace. If you assign a shortcut you will find your files even faster!

This is a heavy Work-In-Progress! May not work for your usecase!

Features

• Search for Files & Symbols across the whole project with one command: Search for Symbol or File
  • Including support for multi folder workspaces
• Support many programming languages
  • More specifically for all languages that cTags support
  • Additional (basic) Support for Dart
• Weighted fuzzy-search. E.g.:
  • file-results are preferred over property-results
  • Results in the current file are preferred over others
• Special commands:
  • Use .extension in your search to only show files with that exact extension
  • Use /file/path in your search to only show files with a fuzzy matching path
  • Use $filename in your search to only show files with a prefix-matching filename

Requirements

• A unix machine. Windows is untested and will most likely not work!
• Universal CTags (e.g. brew install universal-cTags)

Please make sure the cTags-executable is in your PATH-Variable
