Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in quickui#tags#tagfind() with tags sharing a name across scopes, then compare it with quickui#tags#taglist(). Read quickui#tools#preview_tag and the existing Vim tag-search functions, including behavior when ctags was generated without the -n line field. Done means same-named tags remain distinguishable and preview searching works with common ctags output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

quickui#tags#taglist() gets all tags about tagname successful.
But quickui#tags#tagfind() removes tags leaving only one, even though thoes are tags different scope like class.

Additionally, I think searching tags in the quickui#tools#preview_tag should use existing vim functions.
Because, making ctags without -n option for "line" field is common.
