Use "[ i" for display of function prototypes at bottom or "[ ctl i" for jumping to the file containing the prototype. also can use " I" for listing of proto.

ctrl+i = TAB So, "[ <TAB>" goes to the function prototype also, and IMHO is easier to remember.

but what can I do if the prototype is longer than 1 line? Can help?

Its not working. I think you require a ctags file for doing this operation. Otherwise how VIM will know about the prototypes and definations. ANd "I" (capital I) is required to insert at the begining of a line NOT for listing of proto. Manas Behera

sorry for the typo "I" (capital I) should be replaced with "[ I" wich list's the prototypes and places of use of that function in our file and also in other file in search path. i dont know how to make it search for use of that function in our file only instead of searching in path. any answer ??
