Universal ctags (newer)

I'm now using universal ctags, as recommended by counsel-etags.

brew tap universal-ctags/universal-ctags brew install --HEAD universal-ctags

.ctags

--langdef=swift --langmap=swift:+.swift --kinddef-swift=v,variable,variables --kinddef-swift=f,function,functions --kinddef-swift=s,struct,structs --kinddef-swift=c,class,classes --kinddef-swift=p,protocol,protocols --kinddef-swift=e,enum,enums --kinddef-swift=t,typealias,typealiases --regex-swift=/(var|let)[ \t]+([^:=]+).*$/\2/v/ --regex-swift=/func[ \t]+([^]+)$[^\($]*\)/\1/f/ --regex-swift=/struct[ \t]+([^:\{]+).*$/\1/s/ --regex-swift=/class[ \t]+([^:\{]+).*$/\1/c/ --regex-swift=/protocol[ \t]+([^:\{]+).*$/\1/p/ --regex-swift=/enum[ \t]+([^:\{]+).*$/\1/e/ --regex-swift=/(typealias)[ \t]+([^:=]+).*$/\2/v/

Exuberant ctags (older/buggy?)

Install gnu global (ensure homebrew uses –with-exuberant-ctags flag).

brew install global brew install ctags pip install pygments

.ctags

--langdef=swift --langmap=swift:.swift --regex-swift=/[[:<:]]class[[:>:]][[:space:]]+([[:alnum:]_]+)/\1/c,class/ --regex-swift=/[[:<:]]enum[[:>:]][[:space:]]+([[:alnum:]_]+)/\1/e,enum/ --regex-swift=/[[:<:]]func[[:>:]][[:space:]]+([[:alnum:]_]+)/\1/f,function/ --regex-swift=/[[:<:]]protocol[[:>:]][[:space:]]+([[:alnum:]_]+)/\1/P,protocol/ --regex-swift=/[[:<:]]struct[[:>:]][[:space:]]+([[:alnum:]_]+)/\1/s,struct/ --regex-swift=/[[:<:]]typealias[[:>:]][[:space:]]+([[:alnum:]_]+)/\1/t,typealias/
