How to create a list of Vim functions in the quick fix window?

Question

Is there a way to put all the functions defined in the current buffer into a quick fix list? Imagine that the Tlist (from the taglist plugin) opens in the quick fix window.

Answer 1

• Create an expression that returns the list you want. For instance:

   let cmd='exctags -x '.bufname('%')." | awk '{print $4\"|\"$3\"|\",$1}'" 

• Submit it to cexpr or cgetexpr

   cexpr system(cmd) 

Answer 2

An alternative is to use Unite for Vim. It also requires ctags, but offers a list of buffers / jumps, FuzzyFinder as the file is open. With the contour plugin, you have a good list of features. I use it all the time not only to go to the definition of a function, but also to quickly search for arguments.
