While the “Tag List” plug-in for Vim is really great, there is one peculiarity that I wasn’t so happy about. By default the displayed directory names are absolute paths. Hence, working in a little bit (depending on the displayed width of your tag window) deeper subdirectory already yields the issue that the displayed directory information is not particularly helpful; personally, I don’t care about knowing that I am working somewhere beneath “/home/foo/bar/my-sources…” while the actual interesting information would be to know that I work on “./project-a”, “./a-different-project”, etc. Admittedly, this may also be caused by my personal workflow, but well, at least for me this was a little bit inconvenient.
To fix this issue I had a look at the taglist.vim source code and came up with a small patch that changes the displayed path from an absolute to a relative one. Note that I just commented the original line of code.
