Emacs29
Instead of searching for a specific regular expression, the command
ESC tags-apro-
pos
will create a new buffer entitled *Tags List* that contains a listing of all of the tags that
match that regular expression. By moving the pointer around this buffer, you can place it on the
function that you are looking for and use the
ESC .
command to open that function in the cur-
rent buffer. A list of TAGS commands is shown in Table 2-10.
