Racer (which this package uses) supports jumping to definitions (including standard library ones).

Allegedly, Racer supports jumping to definitions, but in my experience with the Vim plugin, it's not particularly reliable, e.g. in the way ctags is. What I found most frustrating was that it seemed to look for a definition in the current buffer, failing that it looked in the standard library, and failing that it just did a substring search in the current buffer. It was practically worthless to me once my projects grew beyond a single module.

  Is there a reason you can't just create some Exuberant CTags regexes?
  - groovy2shoes 11y ago
    No, there isn't. I'm not complaining about the state of doing Rust in Vim, though. I'm complaining about the state of Racer.

  The Rust developers themselves (particularly Niko Matsakis) have been using ctags since long before Racer existed. You can see their ctags definition file at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/etc/ctags.rust https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/etc/ctags.... , and you can run `make TAGS.emacs` or `make TAGS.vi` from within the Rust repo to generate them for the stdlib.

    That's good to know, thank you. However, that doesn't seem like it'd fix the issues with a Racer plugin.

  How long ago did you try it? (racer maintainer here!)
  - groovy2shoes 11y ago
    It was probably around the time when the latest Rust stable release was 1.3, so it's been some time.

    My current racerd build (which I rebuilt today) still can't find certain methods.

      Some examples of ones that don't work would probably be very valuable for the OP.

        I've already filed issues about this :)

  Maybe you should file a bug, although it sounds like you never even set it up. I say this because it worked with all std and third party modules I've used in any project.

    Fuck you. I know how to read a README.

  Try rusty-tags[1]. It's just ctags that gets run on all your dependencies too. [1]: https://github.com/dan-t/rusty-tags https://github.com/dan-t/rusty-tags
