NppTags plug-in for Notepad++

Introduction

NppTags is a Universal Ctags plug-in for Notepad++.

When you use Notepad++ to program in a popular programming language (like C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP), ctags can be very useful for you. It creates a so called tags file that can be used to navigate through your sources. This plug-in lets you jump to a selected function / variable / class / etc in your code by pressing just one key! When multiple tags are found you can select the right yourself.
