"How can I jump to functions in a C++ project with vi

Question

I am making a c++ program with vi. It has only one file but it's getting kind of big. It would be nice if I could easily see all the functions I created and jump to any one of them without having to search for them. Can vi do this, or is there a similar program that can?

BTW, a better title for this question would be "How can I jump to functions in a C++ project with vi or something similar?" — Josh Glover, Apr 28 '11 at 08:34

This seems like a dup of Jump to function definition in vim.

To sum up that answer, use ctags, and take a look at Vim and Ctags tips and tricks.

...and, of course, refactor that bad boy into smaller files :) – Dan Kendall Apr 28 '11 at 08:08

I use a vim plugin to do this :

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=273

It summarizes classes, struct, function, with jump functionality.
