Using cscope within Atom Code Editor CUZ I wanted one. This is my first Atom package(PLS be gentle) which I created out of need since I was not able to find any package which could let me use cscope in Atom. (It may be there but is probably buried under a million packages so I could not find it.)
- Find this C symbol: ✓
- Find this global definition: ✓
- Find functions called by this function: ✓
- Find functions calling this function: ✓
- Find this text string: ✓
- Change this text string: ✗
- Find this egrep pattern: ✓
- Find this file: ✓
- Find files #including this file: ✓
- Find assignments to this symbol: ✓
Finds the selected text or word under cursor to perform a cscope lookup and displays the results in a panel which shows up above (Check screenshot). Or you could just toggle the display of the atom-cscope panel and look it up yourself.
The following commands are registered to execute search with the word in selection or under cursor:
atom-cscope:find-this-symbol
atom-cscope:find-this-global-definition
atom-cscope:find-functions-called-by
atom-cscope:find-functions-calling
atom-cscope:find-text-string
atom-cscope:find-egrep-pattern
atom-cscope:find-this-file
atom-cscope:find-files-including
atom-cscope:find-assignments-to
The following commands are registered to toggle the Widget open with pre-selected options to save time.
atom-cscope:toggle
atom-cscope:toggle-symbol
atom-cscope:toggle-definition
atom-cscope:toggle-functions-called-by
atom-cscope:toggle-functions-calling
atom-cscope:toggle-text-string
atom-cscope:toggle-egrep-pattern
atom-cscope:toggle-file
atom-cscope:toggle-files-including
atom-cscope:toggle-assignments-to
Only atom-cscope:toggle
has a keymap set. You can setup your own keymaps for
the other commands.
The command atom-cscope:focus-next
allows you to switch between the main
editor and the widget, while the widget is open.
There are 3 ways of executing a search:
- Live search: Executes a search with configurable delay after you input your search term.
- Enter Key: Just press enter after typing your input.
- "SCOPE IT!" button: Click the button.
If new search is same as previous search, no action is taken. However you can force search by clicking on the "SCOPE IT!" button
You can navigate the Result Items using arrow keys and press enter
to execute
or click on the Result Item for the same effect.
You can use the existing cscope.out file, generate on your own, or generate through the widget with the lightning button.
To generate cscope.out manually, in your project directory run:
find . -name "*.c" -o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.hpp" > cscope.files
cscope -q -R -b -i cscope.files
And then the package will be able to use the cscope.out file to generate results.
