If you don't like the more prompt that comes up when there are too many hits to the :tselect and the related commands, then try this plugin. Useful even with finding help topics in a help window (see :help {subject} and see the tip on the usage below).                                                                              Use :Tselect command instead of :tselect to bring up the :tselect output   in a vim window. You can then search and press enter on the line(s) of   the tag which you would like to select. If you don't want to select any   tag you can quit by pressing "q". You can also start typing the number   of the tag instead of moving the cursor to the line and pressing enter.                                                                              To select another tag index for the same tag, you can use :Tselect   without arguments or just use :tselect itself.                                                                              You can also use :Stselect, :Tjump and :Stjump commands to execute   :stselect, :tjump and :stjump commands respectively.                                                                              The normal mode commands, "g]" and "g^]" (g] and g_CTRL-]) and their   corresponding visual mode commands (v_g] and v_g_CTRL-]) and window   split commands (CTRL-W_g] and CTRL-W_g-CTRL-]) will be remapped to use   the plugin. To disable these maps, set g:no_tagselect_maps in your   vimrc.                                                                              You can also use :Tags command to show the output of :tags command in   a vim window. You can then search and press enter on the line of the tag   which you would like to jump to. The plugin executes the appropriate   command (:tag or :pop) with the right index.                                                                              Use g:tagselectWinSize to set the preferred size of the window. The   default is -1, which is to take just as much as required (up to the   maximum), but you can set it to empty string to make the window as high   as possible, or any +ve number to limit its size.                                                                              Use g:tagselectExpandCurWord to configure if <cword> and <cWORD> tokens   will be expanded or not. Tips:   - You can intermix the usage of the plugin commands with that of     built-in commands (ie., :tn, :tp followed by a :Tselect)   - You can use :Ts instead of the full :Tselect, as long as there are no     other commands which could confuse the usage. The same applies to     :Tjump (:Tj) and other commands.   - The [Tag Select] buffer is set to to "tagselect" filetype, so this     allows you to customize the look & feel (colors, maps etc.) by     creating syntax/tagselect.vim and ftplugin/tagselect.vim files in your     runtime.   - In a help window, you can use the :Tselect /<pattern> command to do     very powerful and handy lookup of the help topics. Using this     technique to find the help topic you want is fun and easy and you are     sure to bump into features that you are not aware of (both in Vim and     in plugins that you installed). E.g., to find all the topics that have     "shell" in its name,         :h         :Tselect /shell Limitations:   - Executes tag commands (:tselect :stselect) twice, once to show the     list, and once to jump to the selected tag. This means, if the tag     search takes considerable time, then the time could potentially be     doubled (which is usually not a problem because Vim seems to cache the     last tag results). This could probably be fixed in Vim7 using the new     tag functions. Search_key_words: tag tags tagselect tselect stselect tjump stjump visual explorer hari krishna dara
