Talk vim together (16th: Vim plugin ctags cont.)

Everyone crossing, welcome to listen to the large-scale couplet science fiction: Vim. Last time we introduced the ctags in the Vim plugin.

This time, let's continue to say the plugin. Or that sentence, gossip Hugh, words return to the positive turn. Let's talk about vim together!
