description
Dynamic symbol (e.g variable, function) name highlighting with minimalistic requirements.

Dependencies:
- mimetype (sadly, `file -i` does not suffice)
- python3 (system installation, not Vim compile flag)
- ctags (tested with Universal ctags)
- gcc/clang (to preprocess C/C++ files)

Home page: https://github.com/agvxov/Vim-HiTags/
 
install details
1. extract the tar over your .vim/
2. Configure Vim to actually invoke the plugin. Achive this by appending / overriding the following definition in your .vimrc.
let g:hitags_events = ["BufWrite"]  " trigger a symbol update on writes
3. (Optional) Further configure HiTags by editing ~/.vim/plugin/hitags.vim. All required details are commented right there in the script.
