I use vi / vim with '97 for various quick changes and administrative tasks, but have recently considered using replace Netbeans as my ruby ββeditor. One thing that I find extremely useful for both Netbeans and Eclipse is Ctrl + Click "Go to Definition", where you can ctrl + click on a class or method and this will lead you to the definition.
Now I was playing with exuberant ctags and rails.vim, and it is close, but there is no cigar. Here's what I want: by default in Netbeans and Eclipse, you can ctrl + click on a local method or class on your local rails , but you can also ctrl + click on things defined in gems or in system libraries encoded in Ruby . For example, Netbeans analyzes all ruby ββfiles by default system paths and makes them navigable for you. If there are several files that define a method, it will present you with a list and let you choose between them.
How can this be done in vim? If this can be done, I may be able to make the leap full time.
