description

The "autoproto" plugin displays the function parameter/prototypes in the preview window if you type a left parenthesis behind a function name. With this plugin it is not necessary to memorize large parameter lists. You do not need to leave insert mode. Typing is almost not affected.

install details

* Drop autoproto.vim into your plugin directory. * The script need a tag file to work:    - for your project: ":!ctags -R ." (or use the gvim button)    - for library functions:      run: "ctags -R -f ~/.vim/systags --c-kinds=+p /usr/include /usr/local/include"      put  "set tags+=~/.vim/systags" in your .vimrc file. * Open some *.c file and write for example: "XCreateWindow ("    (or "XCreateWindow(").    If the tag exist it will be shown in the preview window.    Note: only *.c files are supported ! The file must exist.
