Use tags with ALE

[patrickReiis]

Hi, I know nothing about text editors and stuff.

I use nvim.

When I ran the command :ALEGoToImplementation in a word in my cursor it works fine!

The problem is that it's too boring to keep typing that out, so I thought by using Ctrl + ] it would work, but it doesn't. It says:

E433: No tags file                                                                                                                                                  
E426: tag not found: UserStore

I use Deno, everything works except for this tag thing. Please help.

Could you help sir? Thanks.

I haven't used ALE in a while but it seems like you don't have overridden the default Ctrl-] mapping to use the ALE functoin instead.

nmap Ctrl-] <Plug>(ale_go_to_implementation) (it's important to use nmap not nnoremap)

ALE has options to open the implementation in a split window or a new tab. Check :help ALEGoToImplementation for more info.

I haven't tested this thoroughly, but I hope this works for you.

I had to use nmap <C-]> <Plug>(ale_go_to_implementation) with the "<>" symbols and only the letter C as opposed to Ctrl, aside from that, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
