TmCodeBrowser

Current Version: 1.11

Introduction

TmCodeBrowser is a TextMate plugin designed to help navigating source files. It will parse any language known to the underlying Exuberant Ctags program (enhanced by a small script to also support Objective-C). It will present classes, subroutines etc. in a TreeView. Clicking on any entry will jump to the corresponding location in the source code.

TmCodeBrowser requires OS X 10.3.9 or later and TextMate v1.1b17 REVISION 687 or later.
