How to navigate multiple ctags matches in Vim?

Question

I'm using Ctrl-] in Vim to navigate using Ctags. How do I navigate to alternate file if there are multiple matches?

Ex. something.publish in a codebase containing multiple occurrences of publish:

class Foo
  def publish
  end
end

class Bar
  def publish
  end
end

Solution 1

:tn[ext] goes to the next tag, :tp[revious] goes to the previous one. :ts[elect] gives you a list to choose from.

:help tag-matchlist for more fun and exciting things to try!

Solution 2

Use g] instead of C-] to get the list of all matches.

You might want to read :help g]

Solution 3

Adding the answer I was ultimately looking for in case it helps others:

g<C-]> will jump to the tag if there's only one match and will present a list if there are multiple matches.

I've added this mapping to my .vimrc to make it do what I want by default:

nnoremap <C-]> g<C-]>
