Discussion on: When developing Laravel app with Vim, you can still jump to Magic Methods

Lovely stuff, although my editor (Atom) still wouldn't jump to the scope or accessor as the first character of the tag will be uppercase, and this doesn't match with the search term the cursor will be positioned at.

My solution was to prefix these tags with a placeholder.

--regex-php=/get([a-z|A-Z|0-9]+)Attribute/_FIRST_CHAR_TO_LOWER_\1/
--regex-php=/scope([a-z|A-Z|0-9]+)/_FIRST_CHAR_TO_LOWER_\1/

Then post-process the tags using sed and convert the uppercase first character to lowercase.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

ctags

sed --in-place \
--regexp-extended \
--expression='s/_FIRST_CHAR_TO_LOWER_(.)([a-z|A-Z|0-9]+)\t/\l\1\2\t/g' \
tags

sort tags --output=tags
