How would one configure the Taglist plugin to automatically close the Tagslist window after clicking on a tag? I keep the Tlist window closed due to space (my monitor stands upright, in portrait orientation) and only open it when I need to move to a tag.

This is in VIM 7.3. Thanks!

From the taglist docs:

Tlist_Close_On_Select - Close taglist window when a selection is made.

Defaults to 0 (zero), off, which doesn't close the taglist window.

let Tlist_Close_On_Select = 1

in your .vimrc will cause the taglist window to be closed after you choose.

:help taglist.txt

Will bring up the taglist docs, look at section 6, options.

That's explicitly documented in the plugin's help; see :help taglist-using:

To automatically close the taglist window when a tag or file is selected, you can set the 'Tlist_Close_On_Select' variable to 1. To exit Vim when only the taglist window is present, set the 'Tlist_Exit_OnlyWindow' variable to 1.

  • Thanks Ingo. I happened to find it just a few minutes after asking right on the plugin's homepage! – dotancohen Jul 22 '13 at 10:33

Found it! Add this to .vimrc:

let Tlist_Close_On_Select = 1

I am leaving the question here for the next time I need this, as Google did not help me find this the first time.

  • Don't just rely on Google for plugin config. Most (good) plugins ship with dedicated help pages that rival the excellent built-in help. – Ingo Karkat Jul 22 '13 at 9:57
  • You are right. I've been spoiled by Google and instant-answers for the past few years. – dotancohen Jul 22 '13 at 10:34
