    The most recent versions of Kate, KDE’s advanced text editor, come with a plugin called ctags that does exactly what you want. Since KDE 4, you can install some KDE programs in Windows thanks to the KDE on Windows project. Kate is one of those you can install.

    Once you have launched it please go to Settings -> Configure Kate…, choose Plugins from the left pane and enable the ctags plugin.
