• Create a new file in the home directory of Windows . Ctags , add content:

 --langdef=go--langmap=go: . Go--regex-go=/func ([\t]+\ ([^)]+\))? [\t]+ ([a-za-z0->9_]+)/\2/f,func/--regex-go=/var[\t]+ ([a-za-z_][a-za-z0-9_]+]/\1/v,var/--regex-go=/type[\t]+ ([a-za-z_][a-za-z0-9_]+)/\1/t,type/ 

• Execute command under cmd ctags--list-kinds validation

  ... Go f func v var t type
