Re: Jumping to tags definition

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hi,

If a symbol is defined in one place, gtags.el jumps to the point of

the definition directly. But it is defined in two or more places,

gtags.el shows the list of definitions. There is no way to change it.

If you accept vim editor, gtags.vim behaves as you think. Though

it also makes a list of definitions, it jumps to the first entry directly

by default.

There is an alternative emacs front-end ggtags.el¹ that should do what
you want. Open an issue² if it doesn't.
