INTRO                                                               *go-intro*

Go (golang) support for Vim. vim-go comes with sensible predefined settings
(e.g. automatic `gofmt` on save), has code completion, snippet support,
improved syntax highlighting, go toolchain commands, etc. It is highly
customizable, and individual features can be toggled easily. vim-go leverages
a number of tools developed by the Go community to provide a seamless Vim
experience.

  * Compile your package with |:GoBuild|, install it with |:GoInstall| or
    test it with |:GoTest|. Run a single test with |:GoTestFunc|.
  * Quickly execute your current file(s) with |:GoRun|.
  * Improved syntax highlighting and folding.
  * Debug programs with integrated `delve` support with |:GoDebugStart|.
  * Code completion support via `gocode` and `gopls`.
  * `gofmt` or `goimports` on save keeps the cursor position and undo history.
  * Go to symbol/declaration with |:GoDef|.
  * Look up documentation with |:GoDoc| or |:GoDocBrowser|.
  * Easily import packages via |:GoImport|, remove them via |:GoDrop|.
  * Precise type-safe renaming of identifiers with |:GoRename|.
  * See which code is covered by tests with |:GoCoverage|.
  * Add or remove tags on struct fields with |:GoAddTags| and |:GoRemoveTags|.
  * Call `golangci-lint` with |:GoMetaLinter| to invoke all possible linters
    (`golint`, `vet`, `errcheck`, `deadcode`, etc.) and put the result in the
    quickfix or location list.
  * Lint your code with |:GoLint|, run your code through |:GoVet| to catch
    static errors, or make sure errors are checked with |:GoErrCheck|.
  * Advanced source analysis tools utilizing `gopls`, such as |:GoImplements|
    and |:GoReferrers|.
  * Integrated and improved snippets, supporting `ultisnips`, `neosnippet`,
    and `vim-minisnip`.
  * Share your current code to `go.dev/play` with |:GoPlay|.
  * On-the-fly information about the word under the cursor. Plug it into your
    custom Vim function.
  * Text objects such as "a function" (|go-af|) or "inner function" (|go-if|).
  * Most commands are run asynchronously in Neovim and Vim 8. Fully async
    building and testing.
  * Integrated with the Neovim terminal, launch |:GoRun| and other Go commands
    in a terminal buffer.
  * Switch between `file.go` and `file_test.go` code with |:GoAlternate|.
  * Supports integration with the Tagbar and ctrlp.vim plugins.
  * ...and more...

INSTALL                                                           *go-install*

vim-go requires at least Vim 8.2.5072 or Neovim 0.4.0. On macOS, if you are
still using your system version of Vim, you can use homebrew to keep your
version of Vim up-to-date with the following terminal command:
>
  brew install vim

The latest stable release, https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/releases/latest, is
the recommended version to use. If you choose to use the master branch
instead, please do so with caution; it is a _development_ branch.

vim-go follows the standard runtime path structure and should work with any of
the major plugin managers.

For Pathogen or Vim |packages|, just clone the repo. For other plugin
managers, you may also need to add the lines to your vimrc to execute the
plugin manager's install command.

*  Vim 8 |packages| >

    git clone https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git \
      ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-go

    Plugin 'fatih/vim-go'
<
*  Manual (not recommended) >

    Copy all of the files into your `~/.vim` directory
<

You will also need to install all the necessary binaries. vim-go makes it easy
to install all of them by providing a command, |:GoInstallBinaries|, to
`go install` all the required binaries. The binaries will be installed to
$GOBIN or $GOPATH/bin (default: $HOME/go/bin). It requires `git`.

Depending on your installation method, you may have to generate the plugin's
|:helptags| manually (e.g. `:helptags ALL`).

Code completion is enabled by default via 'omnifunc', which you can trigger
with |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| (`<C-x><C-o>`).

Supported Go plugins~                                         *vim-go-plugins*

The following plugins are supported for use with vim-go:

* Real-time completion (Vim):
  https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplete.vim

* Real-time completion (Neovim and Vim 8):
  https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim

  Add the following line to your vimrc. This instructs deoplete to use omni
  completion for Go files.

    call deoplete#custom#option('omni_patterns', { 'go': '[^. *\t]\.\w*' })

COMMANDS                                                         *go-commands*

                                                        *:GoReportGitHubIssue*
:GoReportGitHubIssue

    GoReportGitHubIssue opens the default browser and starts a new bug report
    with useful system information.

                                                                     *:GoPath*
:GoPath [path]

    GoPath sets and overrides `GOPATH` with the given {path}. If no {path} is
    given, it shows the current `GOPATH`. If `""` is given as path, it clears
    the current `GOPATH` which was set with |:GoPath| and restores `GOPATH`
    back to the initial value which was sourced when Vim was started.

                                                                   *:GoImport*
:GoImport[!] [path]

    GoImport ensures that the provided package {path} is imported in the
    current Go buffer, using proper style and ordering. If {path} is already
    being imported, an error will be displayed and the buffer will be
    untouched.

    If [!] is given, it will download the package with `go get`

                                                                 *:GoImportAs*
:GoImportAs [localname] [path]

    Same as GoImport, but uses a custom local name for the package.

                                                                     *:GoDrop*
:GoDrop [path]

    Remove the import line for the provided package {path}, if present in the
    current Go buffer.  If {path} is not being imported, an error will be
    displayed and the buffer will be untouched.

                                                                     *:GoLint*
:GoLint! [packages]

    Run the linter for the directory under your current file, or for the given
    packages.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                      *:GoDoc*
:GoDoc [word]

    Open the relevant GoDoc in split window for either the word[s] passed to
    the command or by default, the word under the cursor.

                                                               *:GoDocBrowser*
:GoDocBrowser [word]

    Open the relevant GoDoc in browser for either the word[s] passed to the
    command or by default, the word under the cursor. By default it opens the
    documentation in `https://pkg.go.dev`. To change it see |'g:go_doc_url'|.

                                                                      *:GoFmt*
:GoFmt

    Filter the current Go buffer through gofmt.  It tries to preserve cursor
    position and avoids replacing the buffer with stderr output.

                                                                  *:GoImports*
:GoImports

    Adjust imports using the setting of `g:go_imports_mode`. Like |:GoFmt|, it
    tries to preserve cursor position and avoids replacing the buffer with
    stderr output.

                                                                     *:GoPlay*
:[range]GoPlay

    Share snippet to `go.dev/play`. If no [range] is given, it shares the
    whole file, otherwise the selected lines are shared. Snippet URL is copied
    to system clipboard if Vim is compiled with 'clipboard' or
    'xterm-clipboard' otherwise it gets yanked into the `""` register.

                                                                      *:GoVet*
:GoVet[!] [options]

    Run `go vet` for the directory under your current file. Vet examines Go
    source code and reports suspicious constructs, such as Printf calls whose
    arguments do not align with the format string. Vet uses heuristics that do
    not guarantee all reports are genuine problems, but it can find errors not
    caught by the compilers.

    You may optionally pass any valid go vet flags/options.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                      *:GoDef*
:GoDef
gd
CTRL-]
g<C-LeftMouse>
<C-LeftMouse>

    Go to declaration/definition for the identifier under the cursor. By
    default the CTRL-] shortcut, the mapping `gd` and <C-LeftMouse>,
    g<LeftMouse> are enabled to invoke :GoDef for the identifier under the
    cursor. See |'g:go_def_mapping_enabled'| to disable them. No explicit
    arguments are supported.

    vim-go also keeps a per-window location stack, roughly analogous to how
    Vim's internal |tags| functionality works. This is pushed to every time a
    jump is made using the GoDef functionality. In essence, this is a LIFO
    list of file locations you have visited with |:GoDef| that is retained to
    help you navigate software.

    The per-window location stack is shared with |:GoDefType|.

                                                                  *:GoDefType*
:GoDefType

    Go to type definition for the identifier under the cursor.

    The per-window location stack is shared with |:GoDef|.
                                                                 *:GoDefStack*
:GoDefStack [number]

    This command Jumps to a given location in the jumpstack, retaining all
    other entries. Jumps to non-existent entries will print an informative
    message, but are otherwise a noop.

    If no argument is given, it will print out an interactive list of all
    items in the stack. Its output looks like this:

      1 /path/first/file.go|1187 col 16|AddThing func(t *Thing)
    > 2 /path/thing/thing.go|624 col 19|String() string
      3 /path/thing/thing.go|744 col 6|func Sprintln(a ...interface{}) string

    This list shows the identifiers that you jumped to and the file and cursor
    position before that jump.  The older jumps are at the top, the newer at
    the bottom.

    The '>' points to the active entry.  This entry and any newer entries
    below it will be replaced if |:GoDef| is done from this location. The
    CTRL-t and |:GoDefPop| command will jump to the position above the active
    entry.

    Jumps to non-existent entries will print an informative message, but are
    otherwise a noop.

                                                            *:GoDefStackClear*
:GoDefStackClear

    Clears the current stack list and resets it.

                                                                   *:GoDefPop*
:GoDefPop [count]
CTRL-t

    Navigate to the [count] earlier entry in the jump stack, retaining the
    newer entries. If no argument is given, it will jump to the next most
    recent entry (`:GoDefPop 1`).  If [count] is greater than the number of
    prior entries, an error will be printed and no jump will be performed.

    If you have used :GoDefPop to jump to an earlier location, and you issue
    another :GoDef command, the current entry will be replaced, and all newer
    entries will be removed, effectively resuming the stack at that location.

    By default [count]CTRL-t is enabled to invoke :GoDefPop.  Similarly,
    hitting CTRL-t without a prior count is equivalent to `:GoDefPop 1`.  See
    |'g:go_def_mapping_enabled'| to disable this.

                                                                      *:GoRun*
:GoRun[!] [expand]

    Build and run your current main package. By default all main files for the
    current file is used. If an argument is passed, [expand] is used as file
    selector. For example use `:GoRun %` to select the current file only.

    You may optionally pass any valid go run flags/options. For a full list
    please see `go help run`.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim then `:GoRun` will run in a new terminal according to
    |'g:go_term_mode'|.

    The working directory will be the directory containing the current buffer.


                                                                    *:GoBuild*
:GoBuild[!] [expand]

    Build your package with `go build`. Errors are populated in the quickfix
    window. It automatically builds only the files that depend on the current
    file. `:GoBuild` doesn't produce a result file.
    Use |:make| to create a result file.

    You may optionally pass any valid go build flags/options. For a full list
    please see `go help build`. Options are expanded with [expand].

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim then this command is fully async, it does not block the
    UI.

                                                                 *:GoGenerate*
:GoGenerate[!] [expand]

    Creates or updates your auto-generated source files by running `go
    generate`.

    You may optionally pass any valid go generate flags/options. For a full
    list please see `go help generate`. Options are expanded with [expand].

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                     *:GoInfo*
:GoInfo

    Show type information about the identifier under the cursor. For example
    putting it above a function call is going to show the full function
    signature. By default it uses `gopls` to get the type information.

                                                                  *:GoInstall*
:GoInstall[!] [options]

    Install your package with `go install`.

    You may optionally pass any valid go install flags/options. For a full
    list please see `go help install`.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                     *:GoTest*
:GoTest[!] [expand]

    Run the tests on your _test.go files in your current directory. Errors
    are populated in the quickfix window.  If an argument is passed, [expand]
    is used as file selector (useful for cases like `:GoTest ./...`).

    You may optionally pass any valid go test flags/options. For a full list
    please see `go help test`.

    GoTest times out automatically after 10 seconds. To customize the timeout
    use |'g:go_test_timeout'|. This feature is disabled if any arguments are
    passed to the `:GoTest` command.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

    If using neovim `:GoTest` will run in a new terminal or run asynchronously
    in the background according to |'g:go_term_enabled'|. You can set the mode
    of the new terminal with |'g:go_term_mode'|.

                                                                 *:GoTestFile*
:GoTestFile[!] [expand]

    Runs :GoTest, but only on the tests in the current file using 'go test's
    '-run' flag.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                 *:GoTestFunc*
:GoTestFunc[!] [expand]

    Runs :GoTest, but only on the single test function immediate to your
    cursor using 'go test's '-run' flag.

    Lookup is done starting at the cursor (including that line) moving up till
    a matching `func Test` pattern is found or top of file is reached. Search
    will not wrap around when at the top of the file.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                              *:GoTestCompile*
:GoTestCompile[!] [expand]

    Compile your _test.go files in your current directory. Errors are
    populated in the quickfix window.  If an argument is passed, [expand] is
    used as file selector (useful for cases like `:GoTest ./...`). Useful to
    not run the tests and capture/fix errors before running the tests or to
    create test binary.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                 *:GoCoverage*
:GoCoverage[!] [options]

:GoErrCheck! [options]

    Check for unchecked errors in the current package. Errors are populated in
    the quickfix window.

    You may optionally pass any valid errcheck flags/options. See
    `errcheck -h` for a full list.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                    *:GoFiles*
:GoFiles [source_files]

    Show source files for the current package. The [source_files] specifies
    which file types to list. See the "// Source files" section of
    `go list -h` for possible values; multiple values are accepted.
    Command-line completion also works for this command.
    The default is to use `GoFiles` if no arguments are given.

                                                                     *:GoDeps*

                                                          *:GoInstallBinaries*
:GoInstallBinaries [binaries]

    Download and install all necessary Go tool binaries such as `godef`,
    `goimports`, `gopls`, etc. under |'g:go_bin_path'|. If [binaries] is
    supplied, then only the specified binaries will be installed. The default
    is to install everything.

    A specific version of a binary can be specified by appending Go's version
    syntax to the binary name. e.g. `:GoInstallBinaries gopls@v0.9.1`.

    Set |'g:go_get_update'| to disable updating dependencies.

                                                           *:GoUpdateBinaries*
:GoUpdateBinaries [binaries]

    Download and update previously installed Go tool binaries such as `godef`,
    `goimports`, `gopls`, etc. under |'g:go_bin_path'|. If [binaries] is
    supplied, then only the specified binaries will be updated. The default is
    to update everything.

    A specific version of a binary can be specified by appending Go's version
    syntax to the binary name. e.g. `:GoUpdateBinaries gopls@v0.9.1`.

    Set |'g:go_get_update'| to disable updating dependencies.

                                                               *:GoImplements*
:GoImplements

    Show "implements" relation for a selected package. A list of interfaces
    for the type that implements an interface under the cursor (or selected
    package) is shown in a location list.
                                                                   *:GoRename*
:GoRename[!] [to]

    Rename the identifier under the cursor to the desired new name. If no
    argument is given, a prompt will ask for the desired identifier.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.


                                                                *:GoReferrers*
:GoReferrers

    The referrers query shows the set of identifiers that refer to the same
    object as does the selected identifier.

                                                                  *:GoSameIds*
:GoSameIds

    Highlights all identifiers that are equivalent to the identifier under the
    cursor.

                                                             *:GoSameIdsClear*
:GoSameIdsClear

    Clears all SameIds highlights from a |:GoSameIds| call.

                                                            *:GoSameIdsToggle*
:GoSameIdsToggle

    Toggle between |:GoSameIds| and |:GoSameIdsClear|.

                                                        *:GoSameIdsAutoToggle*
:GoSameIdsAutoToggle

    Enables or disables automatic highlighting of |:GoSameIds| while moving
    the cursor. This basically toggles the option |'g:go_auto_sameids'|
    on/off.
    If enabled it starts highlighting whenever your cursor is staying at the
    same position for a configurable period of time (see |'g:go_updatetime'|).
    If disabled it clears and stops automatic highlighting.

                                                               *:GoMetaLinter*
:GoMetaLinter! [path]

    Calls a metalinter tool and displays all warnings and errors in the
    |quickfix| window. The linters that are enabled by default vary depending
    on the value of `g:go_metalinter_command` and can be changed with
    `g:go_metalinter_enabled`.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                              *:GoDiagnostics*
:GoDiagnostics! [packages]

    Displays the diagnostics from `gopls` for the given packages in a
    |quickfix| window. The diagnostics for the current package are displayed
    when no package is given. The diagnostics for all packages will be
    displayed when `all` is as an argument.

    Disabled when |'g:go_diagnostics_enabled'| is not set.

    If [!] is not given, the first error is jumped to.

                                                                *:GoBuildTags*
:GoBuildTags [tags]

    Changes the build tags for various commands. If you have any file that
    uses a custom build tag, such as `// +build integration`, this command
    can be used to pass it to all tools that accept tags, such as gopls,
    go test, etc.

    The build tags are cleared (unset) if `""` is given. If no arguments are
    given, it prints the current build tags.

                                                                     *:AsmFmt*
:AsmFmt

    Filter the current Go asm buffer through asmfmt. It tries to preserve
    cursor position and avoids replacing the buffer with stderr output.

                                                                *:GoAlternate*
:GoAlternate[!]

    Alternates between the implementation and test code. For example if in
    main.go, switch to main_test.go. Uses the |'g:go_alternate_mode'| setting
    as the command to open the file.

    If [!] is given, then it switches to the new file even if it does not
    exist.

    If you would like to override the traditional commands for alternating,
    add the following to your .vimrc:
>
    augroup go
      autocmd!
      autocmd Filetype go
        \  command! -bang A call go#alternate#Switch(<bang>0, 'edit')
        \| command! -bang AV call go#alternate#Switch(<bang>0, 'vsplit')
        \| command! -bang AS call go#alternate#Switch(<bang>0, 'split')
    augroup END
<

                                                                    *:GoDecls*
:GoDecls [file]

    Show all function and type declarations for the current file. If
    [file] is non empty it parses the given file.
    Requires `ctrlp.vim` or `fzf`; it will autodetect the plugin if installed,
    but you can use |'g:go_decls_mode'| to force using one or the other.
    By default `type` and `func` declarations are shown. This can be changed
    via |'g:go_decls_includes'|. Also see |unite-decls|, |denite-decls|.

                                                                 *:GoDeclsDir*
:GoDeclsDir [dir]

    Show all function and type declarations for the current directory. If
    [dir] is given it parses the given directory.

                                                                 *unite-decls*
                                                                *denite-decls*
:Unite decls[:path]
:Denite decls[:path]

    Only enabled if `unite.vim` or `denite.nvim` is installed. Show
    declarations for all functions and types on the current file or directory
    or for [path] if given.

    Note: `denite.nvim` requires NeoVim or Vim 8 with |:python3| enabled.

:GoImpl [receiver] [receiver type] [interface]

    Generates method stubs for implementing an interface. If no arguments are
    passed it takes the identifier under the cursor to be the receiver and
    asks for the interface type to be generated. If used with arguments, the
    receiver name, its type, and the interface needs to be specified. Example
    usages:
>
      :GoImpl f *Foo io.Writer
      :GoImpl t Type io.ReadWriteCloser
<
                                                                  *:GoAddTags*
:[range]GoAddTags [key],[option] [key1],[option] ...

    Adds field tags for the fields of a struct. If called inside a struct it
    automatically add field tags with the `json` key and the value
    automatically generated based on the field name. An error message is given
    if it's called outside a struct definition or if the file is not correctly
    formatted.

    If [range] is given only the selected fields will be changed.

    The default `json` can be changed by providing one or more [key]
    arguments. An example of adding `xml` and `db` would be:
>
      :GoAddTags xml db
<
    If [option] is passed it'll either add a new tag with an option or will
    modify existing tags. An example of adding `omitempty` to all `json`
    fields would be:
>
      :GoAddTags json,omitempty
<
    You can define a constant value instead of the default field based value.
    For example the following command will add ``valid:"1"`` to all fields.
>
      :GoAddTags valid:1
<
                                                               *:GoRemoveTags*
:[range]GoRemoveTags [key],[option] [key1],[option1] ...

    Remove field tags for the fields of a struct. If called inside a struct it
    automatically remove all field tags. An error message is given if it's
    called outside a struct definition or if the file is not correctly
    formatted.

    If [range] is given, only the selected fields will be changed.

    If [key] is given, it will only remove those keys. Example:
>
      :GoRemoveTags json
<
    If [option] is passed with a [key], it will only remove the options.
    Example, this will only remove `omitempty` options from fields containing
    `json`:
>
      :GoRemoveTags json,omitempty
<
                                                       *:GoAutoTypeInfoToggle*

:GoFillStruct

    Use `fillstruct` to fill a struct literal with default values. Existing
    values (if any) are preserved. The cursor must be on the struct you wish
    to fill.

    For example:

          f, err := os.Open("file")
      }
<
    Becomes:
>
      func doSomething() (string, error) {
          f, err := os.Open("file")
          if err != nil {
              return "", err
          }
      }

TEXT OBJECTS                                                 *go-text-objects*

vim-go comes with several custom |text-objects| that can be used to operate
upon regions of text. vim-go currently defines the following text objects:

                                               *go-v_af* *go-af*
af            "a function", select contents from a function definition to the
               closing bracket. If |'g:go_textobj_include_function_doc'| is
               enabled it also includes the comment doc for a function
               declaration. This text-object also supports literal functions.
               If |'g:go_textobj_include_variable'| is enabled it also
               includes the variable of a function assignment.

                                               *go-v_if* *go-if*
if            "inside a function", select contents of a function,
              excluding the function definition and the closing bracket. This
              text-object also supports literal functions.

                                               *go-v_ac* *go-ac*
ac            "a comment", select contents of the current comment block.

                                               *go-v_ic* *go-ic*
ic            "inner comment", select contents of the current comment block,
              excluding the start and end comment markers.

vim-go also defines the following text motion objects:

                                               *go-v_]]* *go-]]*
]]            [count] forward to next function declaration. If
              |'g:go_textobj_include_function_doc'| is enabled and if you're
              on a comment, it skips the function which the comment
              belongs and forwards to the next function declaration.

                                               *go-v_[[* *go-[[*
[[            [count] backward to previous function declaration.



==============================================================================
FUNCTIONS                                                       *go-functions*

                                                        *go#statusline#Show()*

Shows the status of a job running asynchronously. Can be used to plug into the
statusline. It works to show the status per package instead of per file.
Assume you have three files open, all belonging to the same package, if the
package build (`:GoBuild`) is successful, all statuslines will show `success`,
if it fails all windows' statuslines will show `failed`.

To avoid always showing old status information, the status information is
cleaned for each package after `60` seconds. This can be changed with the
|'g:go_statusline_duration'| setting.

                                                       *go#complete#GetInfo()*

Returns the description of the identifier under the cursor. Can be used
to plug into the statusline.

                                                      *go#complete#Complete()*

Uses `gopls` for autocompletion. By default, it is hooked up to 'omnifunc'.

                                                   *go#tool#DescribeBalloon()*

Suitable to be used as an expression to show the evaluation balloon. By
default only relevant diagnostics and the type information is shown.
|'g:go_doc_balloon'| can be used to also include partial documentation. See
`help balloonexpr`.

==============================================================================
SETTINGS                                                        *go-settings*

                                                     *'g:go_version_warning'*

Enable warning when using an unsupported version of Vim. By default it is
enabled.
>
  let g:go_version_warning = 1
<

                                              *'g:go_code_completion_enabled'*

Enable code completion with 'omnifunc'. By default it is enabled.

                                                *'g:go_code_completion_icase'*

Override the icase field in 'omnifunc' results. By default it is set to 0.
See 'complete-items' for details.
>
  let g:go_code_completion_icase = 0
<

                                                      *'g:go_test_show_name'*

Show the name of each failed test before the errors and logs output by the
test. By default it is disabled.
>
  let g:go_test_show_name = 0
<

                                                         *'g:go_test_timeout'*

Use this option to change the test timeout of |:GoTest|. By default it is
set to 10 seconds . >

  let g:go_test_timeout= '10s'
<
                                                 *'g:go_play_browser_command'*

Browser to use for |:GoPlay|, |:GoDocBrowser|, and |:GoLSPDebugBrowser|. The
URL must be added with `%URL%`, and it's advisable to include `&` to make sure
the shell returns. For example:
>
  let g:go_play_browser_command = 'firefox-developer %URL% &'
<

By default it tries to find it automatically for the current OS. >

  let g:go_play_browser_command = ''
<
                                                    *'g:go_play_open_browser'*

Use this option to open browser after posting the snippet to `go.dev/play`
with |:GoPlay|. By default it's enabled. >

  let g:go_play_open_browser = 1
<
                                                       *'g:go_auto_type_info'*

Use this option to show the type info (|:GoInfo|) for the word under the
cursor automatically. Whenever the cursor changes the type info will be
updated. By default it's disabled. The delay can be configured with the
|'g:go_updatetime'| setting.
>
  let g:go_auto_type_info = 0
<

                                                         *'g:go_auto_sameids'*

Use this option to highlight all uses of the identifier under the cursor
(|:GoSameIds|) automatically. By default it's disabled. The delay can be
configured with the |'g:go_updatetime'| setting.
>
  let g:go_auto_sameids = 0
<
                                                           *'g:go_updatetime'*

Use this option to configure the delay until it starts some jobs (see
|'g:go_auto_type_info'|, |'g:go_auto_sameids'|). If set to 0, it uses the
value from 'updatetime'. By default it's set to 800ms.
>
  let g:go_updatetime = 800
<
                                                        *'g:go_jump_to_error'*

Use this option to enable/disable passing the bang attribute to the mappings
(e.g. |(go-build)|, |(go-run)|, etc.) and the metalinter on save.  When
enabled it will jump to the first error automatically (means it will NOT pass
the bang attribute to the appropriate command, i.e.: (go-run) -> :GoRun ).
Note, that calling this doesn't have any effect on calling the commands
manually. This setting is only useful for changing the behaviour of our custom
static mappings. By default it's enabled.
>
  let g:go_jump_to_error = 1
<
                                                         *'g:go_fmt_autosave'*

Use this option to auto |:GoFmt| on save. When both 'g:go_imports_autosave'
and 'g:go_fmt_autosave' are enabled and both 'g:go_fmt_command' and
'g:go_imports_mode' are set to `goimports`, `goimports` will be run only once.
By default it's enabled.
>
  let g:go_fmt_autosave = 1
<
                                                          *'g:go_fmt_command'*

Use this option to define which tool is used to format code. Valid options are
`gofmt`, `goimports`, and `gopls`. By default `gopls` is used.
>
  let g:go_fmt_command = 'gopls'
<
                                                          *'g:go_fmt_options'*

Use this option to add additional options to the |'g:go_fmt_command'|. Its
value type can be either a string or a dictionary. This is due to backwards
compatibility. The string version will be removed in the future so please use
the dictionary version. Default is empty.
>
  let g:go_fmt_options = ''

  or

  let g:go_fmt_options = {}
<
The dictionary version allows you to define options for multiple binaries:
>
  let g:go_fmt_options = {
    \ 'gofmt': '-s',
    \ 'goimports': '-local mycompany.com',
    \ }
<
                                                          *'b:go_fmt_options'*

This option is identical to |'g:go_fmt_options'|, but a buffer-level setting.
If present, it's used instead of the global setting. By default it is not set.

As an example, the following autocmd will configure goimports to put imports
of packages from the current module in their own group:
>
  autocmd FileType go let b:go_fmt_options = {
    \ 'goimports': '-local ' .
      \ trim(system('{cd '. shellescape(expand('%:h')) .' && go list -m;}')),
    \ }
<
                                                    *'g:go_fmt_fail_silently'*

Use this option to disable showing a location list when |'g:go_fmt_command'|
fails. By default the location list is shown. >

  let g:go_fmt_fail_silently = 0
<
                                                     *'g:go_fmt_experimental'*

Use this option to enable fmt's experimental mode. This experimental mode is
superior to the current mode as it fully saves the undo history, so undo/redo
doesn't break. However, it's slow (creates/deletes a file for every save) and
it's causing problems on some Vim versions. This has no effect if
`g:go_fmt_command` is set to `gopls`. By default it's disabled.
>

  let g:go_fmt_experimental = 0

<

                                                     *'g:go_imports_autosave'*

Use this option to auto |:GoImports| on save. When both
'g:go_imports_autosave' and 'g:go_fmt_autosave' are enabled and both
'g:go_fmt_command' and 'g:go_imports_mode' are set to `goimports`, `goimports`
will be run only once. By default it's enabled.
>
  let g:go_imports_autosave = 1
<
                                                         *'g:go_imports_mode'*

Use this option to define which tool is used to adjust imports. Valid options
are `goimports` and `gopls`. The buffer will not be formatted when this is set
to `gopls`. By default `gopls` is used.
>

  let g:go_imports_mode = 'gopls'
<
                                                     *'g:go_mod_fmt_autosave'*

Use this option to auto |:GoModFmt| on save. By default it's enabled >

  let g:go_mod_fmt_autosave = 1
<

                                               *'g:go_doc_keywordprg_enabled'*

Use this option to run `godoc` on words under the cursor with |K|; this will
normally run the `man` program, but for Go using `godoc` is more idiomatic. It
will not override the 'keywordprg' setting, but will run |:GoDoc|. Default
is enabled. >

  let g:go_doc_keywordprg_enabled = 1
<
                                                           *'g:go_doc_height'*

Maximum height for the GoDoc window created with |:GoDoc|. Default is 20. >

Specifies the window height for the quickfix and location list windows. The
default value (empty) automatically sets the height to the number of items
(maximum up to 10 items to prevent large heights). Setting the value
explicitly overrides this behavior. For standard Vim behavior, set it to 10.

Controls the height and width of a terminal split, respectively. By default
these are not set, meaning that the height and width are set automatically by
the editor. The height only applies to a horizontal split and width only
applies to a vertical split.

Applicable to Neovim and Vim with `terminal` feature only.

For example here is how to set each to 30.

Expression to prefill the new identifier when using |:GoRename| without any
arguments. Use an empty string if you don't want to prefill anything. By
default it converts the identifier to camel case but preserves the
capitalisation of the first letter to ensure that the exported state stays the
same.

The analyses settings for `gopls`.

The expected value is either `v:null` or a dictionary. The dictionary will be
provided to `gopls` via json-rpc, so dictionary values need to be of the
appropriate type for Vim to convert to JSON (e.g. truthy dictionary values
should be `v:true` or `v:false`). By default, it is `v:null`.

struct fields. When set, completion items will be treated as anonymous
snippets if UltiSnips is installed and configured to be used as
|'g:go_snippet_engine'|.

Specifies whether `gopls` should use a temp modfile and suggest edits rather
than modifying the ambient go.mod file.

When it is `v:null`, `gopls`' default will be used. By default it is `v:null`.
>
  let g:go_gopls_temp_modfile = v:null

Specifies the prefix for imports that `gopls` should group separately.

The value can either be a string or a dictionary. When it is a string, all
workspaces will use the same value. When it is a dictionary, the key should be
the absolute path of the workspace and the value is the prefix to use for
local imports within that workspace.

Specifies `gopls` workspace settings for `gopls` that are not yet officially
supported by vim-go.

Any value in the dictionary will be overridden by values provided in the
specific options supported by vim-go (e.g.  g:go_gopls_staticcheck) or
settings statically configured by vim-go to ensure expected behavior. By
default it is `v:null`.

Deprecated. See `'g:go_diagnostics_level'`. Specifies whether `gopls`
diagnostics are enabled. Only the diagnostics for the current buffer will be
processed when it is not set; all others will be ignored. By default it is
disabled.

<
                                                  *'g:go_diagnostics_level'*

Specifies the `gopls` diagnostics level. Valid values are 0, 1, and 2. 0
ignores `gopls` diagnostics, 1 is for errors only, and 2 is for errors and
warnings. By default it is 0.

<

                                                  *'g:go_template_autocreate'*

When a new Go file is created, vim-go automatically fills the buffer content
with a Go code template. By default, the templates under the `templates`
folder are used.  This can be changed with the |'g:go_template_file'| and
|'g:go_template_test_file'| settings to either use a different file in the
same `templates` folder, or to use a file stored elsewhere.

If the new file is created in an already prepopulated package (with other Go
files), in this case a Go code template with only the Go package declaration
(which is automatically determined according to the current package) is added.

To always use the package name instead of the template, enable the
|'g:go_template_use_pkg'| setting.

By default it is enabled.
>
  let g:go_template_autocreate = 1
<
                                                        *'g:go_template_file'*

Specifies either the file under the `templates` folder that is used if a new
Go file is created. Checkout |'g:go_template_autocreate'| for more info. By
default the `hello_world.go` file is used.

This variable can be set to an absolute path, so the template files don't have
to be stored inside the vim-go directory structure. Useful when you want to
use different templates for different projects.
>
  let g:go_template_file = "hello_world.go"

                                                   *'g:go_template_test_file'*

Like with |'g:go_template_file'|, this specifies the file to use for test
templates. The template file should be under the `templates` folder,
alternatively absolute paths can be used, too. Checkout
|'g:go_template_autocreate'| for more info. By default, the
`hello_world_test.go` file is used.
>

                                                     *'g:go_template_use_pkg'*

Specifies that, rather than using a template, the package name is used if a
new Go file is created. Checkout |'g:go_template_autocreate'| for more info.
By default the template file specified by |'g:go_template_file'| is used.

Only useful if `ctrlp.vim`, `unite.vim`, `denite.nvim` or `fzf` are installed.
This sets which declarations to show for |:GoDecls| (`ctrp.vim`),
|unite-decls| (`unite.vim`) and |denite-decls| (`denite.nvim`).  It is a Comma
delimited list.  Possible options are: {func,type}.  The default is: >

Define the tool to be used for |:GoDecls|. Valid options are `ctrlp.vim`,
`fzf`, or an empty string; in which case it will try to autodetect either
`ctrlp.vim` or `fzf`.

                                                    *'g:go_echo_command_info'*

Echoes information about various Go commands, such as `:GoBuild`, `:GoTest`,
`:GoCoverage`, etc... Useful to disable if you use the statusline integration,
i.e.: |go#statusline#Show()|. By default it's enabled

                                                   *'g:go_addtags_transform'*

Sets the `transform` option for `gomodifytags` when using |:GoAddTags| or if
it's being used for snippet expansion of single fields.  Possible options are:
`snakecase`, `camelcase`, `lispcase`, `pascalcase`, `keep`. For the following
case, if `snakecase` is used the field will be transformed to:
>
  type T struct {
    FooBarQuz string `json:"foo_bar_quz"`
  }
<

If "camelcase" is used:
>
  type T struct {
    FooBarQuz string `json:"fooBarQuz"`
  }
<
By default "snakecase" is used. Current values are: ["snakecase",
"camelcase", "lispcase", "pascalcase", "keep"].
>
      let g:go_addtags_transform = 'snakecase'
<
                                              *'g:go_addtags_skip_unexported'*

Sets the `skip-unexported` option for `gomodifytags` when using |:GoAddTags|.
If set it will prevent `gomodifytags` from adding tags to unexported fields:
>
  type T struct {
    FooBar string `json:"foo_bar"`
    quz    string
  }
<
By default it is disabled.

A list of options to debug; useful for development and/or reporting bugs.

Currently accepted values:

  shell-commands     Echo all shell commands that vim-go runs.
  debugger-state     Expose debugger state in 'g:go_debug_diag'.
  debugger-commands  Echo communication between vim-go and `dlv`; requests and
                     responses are recorded in `g:go_debug_commands`.
  lsp                Echo communication between vim-go and `gopls`. All
                     communication is shown in a dedicated window. When
                     enabled before gopls is started, |:GoLSPDebugBrowser| can
                     be used to open a browser window to help debug gopls.

SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING                                 *ft-go-syntax* *go-syntax*

vim-go comes with an enhanced version of Vim's Go syntax highlighting. It
comes with a number of features, most of which are disabled by default.

The recommended settings are the default values. If you're experiencing
slowdowns in Go files and you enabled some of these options then try disabling
them; some can be resource intensive.

                                                          *'g:go_fold_enable'*

Control syntax-based folding which takes effect when 'foldmethod' is set to
`syntax`.
You can enable specific fold regions by setting an array. Possible values are:

 block                `{` .. `}` blocks.
 import               `import` block.
 varconst             `var` and `const` blocks.
 package_comment      The package comment.
 comment              Any comment that is not the package comment.

By default all except "comment" are enabled:
>
  let g:go_fold_enable = ['block', 'import', 'varconst', 'package_comment']
<
Enable folding of only imports:
>
  let g:go_fold_enable = ['import']
<
Disable everything (same as not setting 'foldmethod' to `syntax`):
>
  let g:go_fold_enable = []

Go template syntax~

The `gotexttmpl` 'filetype' provides syntax highlighting and indentation for
Go's `text/template` package.

The `gohtmltmpl` filetype is for use with the `html/template` package and is
identical to `gotexttmpl` except that it will also load the standard `html`
filetype.

The `gohtmltmpl` filetype is automatically set for `*.tmpl` files; the
`gotexttmpl` is never automatically set and needs to be set manually.

DEBUGGER                                                            *go-debug*

Vim-go comes with a special "debugger mode". This starts a `dlv` process in
the background and provides various commands to communicate with it.

This debugger is similar to Visual Studio or Eclipse and has the following
features:

  * Show stack trace and jumps.
  * List local variables.
  * List function arguments.
  * Expand values of struct or array/slice.
  * Show balloon on the symbol.
  * Show output of stdout/stderr.
  * Toggle breakpoint.
  * Stack operation continue/next/step out.

This feature requires either Vim 8.0.0087 or newer with the |+job| feature or
Neovim. This feature also requires Delve 1.0.0 or newer, and it is
recommended to use Go 1.10 or newer, as its new caching will speed up
recompiles.

                                                              *go-debug-intro*
GETTING STARTED WITH THE DEBUGGER~

Use |:GoDebugStart| or |:GoDebugTest| to start the debugger. The first
argument is the package name, and any arguments after that will be passed on
to the program; for example:
>
    :GoDebugStart . -someflag value
<
This may take a few seconds. After the code is compiled you'll see three new
windows: the stack trace on left side, the variable list on the bottom-left,
and program output at the bottom.

You can add breakpoints with |:GoDebugBreakpoint| (<F9>) and run your program
with |:GoDebugContinue| (<F5>).

The program will halt on the breakpoint, at which point you can inspect the
program state. You can go to the next line with |:GoDebugNext| (<F10>) or step
in with |:GoDebugStep| (<F11>).

The program can also be halted with `:GoDebugHalt` (<F8>).

The variable window in the bottom left (`GODEBUG_VARIABLES`) will display all
local variables. Struct values are displayed as `{...}`, array/slices as
`[4]`. Use <CR> on the variable name to expand the values.

The `GODEBUG_OUTPUT` window displays output from the program and the Delve
debugger.

The `GODEBUG_STACKTRACE` window can be used to jump to different places in the
call stack.

When you're done use |:GoDebugStop| to close the debugging windows and halt
the `dlv` process, or |:GoDebugRestart| to recompile the code.

                                                           *go-debug-commands*
DEBUGGER COMMANDS~

Only the commands to start the client or toggle breakpoints are available by
default. |:GoDebugContinue| becomes available after starting the client.  The
rest of the commands and mappings become available after executing
|:GoDebugContinue|.

                                                               *:GoDebugStart*
:GoDebugStart [pkg] [program-args]

    Start the debug mode for [pkg]; this does several things:

      * Setup the debug windows according to |'g:go_debug_windows'|.
      * Make the `:GoDebug*` commands and `(go-debug-*)` mappings available.

    The directory of the current buffer is used if [pkg] is empty. Any other
    arguments will be passed to the program.

    Use |:GoDebugStop| to stop `dlv` and exit debugging mode.

                                                             *:GoDebugAttach*
:GoDebugAttach pid

    Start the debug mode for pid; this does several things:

      * Setup the debug windows according to |'g:go_debug_windows'|.
      * Make the `:GoDebug*` commands and `(go-debug-*)` mappings available.

    Use |:GoDebugStop| to stop `dlv` and exit debugging mode.

                                                             *:GoDebugConnect*
:GoDebugConnect [addr]

  Connect to a running instance of delve. If addr is not supplied, then
  |'g:go_debug_address'| will be used.

  The debug windows will be setup according to |'g:go_debug_windows'|, and the
  `:GoDebug*` commands and `(go-debug-*)` mappings will be available.

  Use |:GoDebugStop| to exit debugging mode.


                                                                *:GoDebugTest*
:GoDebugTest [pkg] [program-args]

    Behaves the same as |:GoDebugStart| but runs `dlv test` instead of
    `dlv debug` so you can debug tests.

    Use `-test.flag` to pass flags to `go test` when debugging a test; for
    example `-test.v` or `-test.run TestFoo`

                                                            *:GoDebugTestFunc*
:GoDebugTestFunc [expand]

    Behaves the same as |:GoDebugTest| and implicitly adds `-test.run` to run
    the nearest test or example function (i.e. the nearest function
    declaration that matches `func Test` or `func Example`) at or previous to
    the cursor.  Search will not wrap around when at the top of the file.

                                                             *:GoDebugRestart*
:GoDebugRestart

    Stop the program (if running) and restart `dlv` to recompile the package.
    The current window layout and breakpoints will be left intact.

                                                                *:GoDebugHalt*
                                                             *(go-debug-halt)*
:GoDebugHalt

    Halt the program.

    Mapped to <F8> by default.

                                                                *:GoDebugStop*
                                                             *(go-debug-stop)*
:GoDebugStop

    Stop `dlv` and remove all debug-specific commands, mappings, and windows.

                                                          *:GoDebugBreakpoint*
                                                       *(go-debug-breakpoint)*
:GoDebugBreakpoint [linenr]

    Toggle breakpoint for the [linenr]. [linenr] defaults to the current line
    if it is omitted. A line with a breakpoint will have the
    {godebugbreakpoint} |:sign| placed on it. The line the program is
    currently halted on will have the {godebugcurline} sign.

                                    *hl-GoDebugCurrent* *hl-GoDebugBreakpoint*
    A line with a breakpoint will be highlighted with the {GoDebugBreakpoint}
    group; the line the program is currently halted on will be highlighted
    with {GoDebugCurrent}.

    Mapped to <F9> by default.

                                                            *:GoDebugContinue*
                                                         *(go-debug-continue)*
:GoDebugContinue

    Continue execution until breakpoint or program termination. It will start
    the program if it hasn't been started yet.

    Mapped to <F5> by default.

                                                                *:GoDebugNext*
                                                             *(go-debug-next)*
:GoDebugNext

    Advance execution by one line, also called "step over" by some other
    debuggers.

    Mapped to <F10> by default.

                                                                *:GoDebugStep*
                                                             *(go-debug-step)*
:GoDebugStep

    Advance execution by one step, stopping at the next line of code that will
    be executed (regardless of location).

    Mapped to <F11> by default.

                                                             *:GoDebugStepOut*

:GoDebugStepOut

    Run all the code in the current function and halt when the function
    returns ("step out of the current function").

                                                                 *:GoDebugSet*
:GoDebugSet {var} {value}

    Set the variable {var} to {value}. Example:
>
      :GoDebugSet truth 42
<
    This only works for `float`, `int` and variants, `uint` and variants,
    `bool`, and pointers (this is a `delve` limitation, not a vim-go
    limitation).

                                                               *:GoDebugPrint*
                                                            *(go-debug-print)*

    Print the result of a Go expression.
>
    :GoDebugPrint truth == 42
    truth == 42 true
<
    Mapped to <F6> by default, which will evaluate the <cword> under the
    cursor.

                                                           *go-debug-settings*
DEBUGGER SETTINGS~

                                                        *'g:go_debug_windows'*

Controls the window layout for debugging mode. This is a |dict| with four
possible keys: "vars", "stack", "goroutines", and "out"; each of the new
windows will be created in that order with the commands in the value. The
current window is made the only window before creating the debug windows
unless `g:go_debug_windows` is empty. See also |'g:go_debug_preserve_layout'|.

A window will not be created if a key is missing or empty.

Defaults:
>

                                                *'g:go_debug_preserve_layout'*

Preserve window layout in debugging mode. This setting is considered only when

<
                                               *'g:go_debug_substitute_paths'*

Substitute paths in the debugger. This is a list of lists where each element
is a list wherein the remote path (the from side) is the first element and the
local path (the to side) is the second element. These are necessary when the
binary being debugged was not built from the same location that its source
resides locally. By default it is empty.

                                                       *'g:go_debug_mappings'*

Contains custom key mapping information to customize the active mappings
when debugging.

Only the customizations desired need to be provided; the debugger will use its
default key mappings for any mapping not defined here.

This value should be a dictionary whose keys are the plugin mapping commands
(e.g.  `(go-debug-continue)`). The values are dictionaries with two keys:
`key` and `attributes`.

`key` is expected to be the key to map (i.e. it's the `lhs` in a mapping).
`key` can be empty or missing to prevent a key mapping from being applied for
one of the named mappings.

`arguments` is the string of `map-arguments` for the mapping (e.g.
`<nowait>`).

The first item must be the `lhs` to use for the mapping. The optional
second item is for `:map-arguments`. All mappings will always be `:map-local`,
so there is never a need to include `"<buffer>"` in the arguments.
>
  let g:go_debug_mappings = {
    \ '(go-debug-continue)': {'key': 'c', 'arguments': '<nowait>'},
    \ '(go-debug-stop)': {'key': 'q'},
    \ '(go-debug-next)': {'key': 'n', 'arguments': '<nowait>'},
    \ '(go-debug-step)': {'key': 's'},
  \}
<

Defaults are equivalent to:
>
  let g:go_debug_mappings = {
     \ '(go-debug-continue)':   {'key': '<F5>'},
     \ '(go-debug-print)':      {'key': '<F6>'},
     \ '(go-debug-breakpoint)': {'key': '<F9>'},
     \ '(go-debug-next)':       {'key': '<F10>'},
     \ '(go-debug-step)':       {'key': '<F11>'},
     \ '(go-debug-halt)':       {'key': '<F8>'},
  \ }
<

Your user specified settings will be merged with the defaults.

                                                        *'g:go_debug_address'*

Server address `dlv` will listen on; must be in `hostname:port` format.
Defaults to `127.0.0.1:8181`:
>
  let g:go_debug_address = '127.0.0.1:8181'
<

                                                     *'g:go_debug_log_output'*

Specifies log output options for `dlv`. Value should be a single string of
comma-separated options suitable for passing to `dlv`.  An empty string (`''`)
will suppress logging entirely.  Default: `'debugger,rpc'`:
>
  let g:go_debug_log_output = 'debugger,rpc'
<

                                                     *'g:go_highlight_debug'*

Highlight the current line and breakpoints in the debugger.

>
  let g:go_highlight_debug = 1
<

                                         *'go:go_debug_breakpoint_sign_text'*

Set the sign text used for breakpoints in the debugger. By default it's '>'.

>
  let g:go_debug_breakpoint_sign_text = '>'

FAQ TROUBLESHOOTING                                     *go-troubleshooting*

How do I troubleshoot problems?~

One of the best ways to understand what vim-go is doing and the output from
the tools to which it delegates is to leverage the features described in
|'g:go_debug'|.

Completion and other functions that use `gopls` don't work~

Vim-go is heavily reliant on `gopls` for completion and other functionality.
Many of the features that use `gopls` (e.g. completion, jumping to
definitions, showing identifier information, et al.) can be configured to
delegate to other tools. e.g.  completion via 'omnifunc' and |'g:go_def_mode'|
can be set to use other tools for now (though some of the alternatives to
`gopls` are effectively at their end of life and support for them from within
vim-go may be removed soon).

I want to disable `gopls`~

Vim-go's use of `gopls` can be disabled with 'g:go_gopls_enabled'.

Some users want to do this to limit the load on their system when using vim-go
concurrently with an LSP client like vim-lsp. Instead of disabling vim-go's
use of `gopls`, you may prefer to configure vim-go to share the `gopls`
instance with other LSP plugins. 'g:go_gopls_options' can be used to configure
how vim-go starts `gopls` so that the instance can be shared with other
plugins and vim-go users can leverage the full power of vim-go.

I only want vim-go's syntax highlighting~

Usually when users ask for this, they want to disable vim-go's features that
take some action when a buffer is written to disk. The options that control
those actions can be found in the vim-go help file. They all contain the
string _auto in their names and most are suffixed with _autosave.

I get a "Unknown function: go#config#..." error~

This often happens to vim-polyglot users when new config options are added to
vim-go. Run vim-polyglot's `build` script or make sure that vim-go is loaded
before vim-polyglot.

It can also happen when multiple versions of vim-go are installed and the
version loaded by Vim doesn't have a function introduced by a later version.
To see where vim-go is being loaded from run
>
    :verbose function go#config#FmtAutosave
<

The output will show the path to the `autoload/go/config.vim` that was loaded
by Vim. Make sure the root of the path to output by the command is the path
from which vim-go is expected to be sourced. If it is not rooted as expected,
then there are multiple copies of vim-go installed; remove the unexpected
copies.

I get "not an editor command" error when I invoke :GoXXX~

This happens if vim-go is not installed properly. Be sure you have added this
line into your vimrc:
>
  filetype plugin indent on
<

I get a "command not found" error when I invoke :GoXXX~

If you try to call |:GoDef|, |:GoInfo| and get a command not found, check that
you have the binaries installed by using |:GoInstallBinaries|.

Before opening vim, check your current $PATH:
>
  echo $PATH
<
After opening vim, run `:echo $PATH`, the output must be your current `$PATH`
plus `$GOPATH/bin` (the location where |:GoInstallBinaries| installed the
binaries).



Vim becomes slow while editing Go files~

The most common cause for this is using an older version of Vim that doesn't
support asynchronous jobs. |'g:go_auto_sameids'| and |'g:go_auto_type_info'|
run jobs that can cause noticeable delays when used with vim74. The problem is
most pronounced on vim74, but can occur on vim8 and nvim. On vim8 and nvim,
the problem should be restricted to a short period when the first buffer in a
package is first loaded.

If you see unexpected characters rendered in the current window, the problem
is most likely due to |'g:go_auto_sameids'| or |'g:go_auto_type_info'|. Try
disabling |'g:go_auto_sameids'| and |'g:go_auto_type_info'|.

To a lesser extent, this can be caused by `g:go_highlight_*` options. If Vim
is just slower than normal, but doesn't render unexpected characters in the
current window, then the problem is most likely the `g:go_highlight_*`
options. Try disabling them if you've enabled some of them.

I get errors when using GoInstallBinaries~

If you see errors like this:
>
  Error installing golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports
<
that means your local Go setup is broken or the remote website is down. For
example sometimes code.google.com times out. To test, just execute a simple
`go install`:
>
  go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest
<
You'll see a more detailed error. If this works, vim-go will work too.


I want to use a different binary name than "go", can I do this?~

There is no way to directly configure the binary name; but you can use a
wrapper script; for example if you would like to run `goapp` instead of `go`:

1. In `~/gobin/go` (remember to make it executable):
>
     #!/bin/sh
     # Remove gobin from PATH and run goapp.
     PATH=${PATH#$HOME/gobin} goapp "$@"
<
2. Start Vim with `~/gobin` as the first `PATH` entry so it will use the
   wrapper script:
>
     PATH="$HOME/gobin/:$PATH" vim
<
   Alternatively you could set `$PATH` in your vimrc with an |:autocmd|.


How do I use vim-go with syntastic?~

Sometimes when using both `vim-go` and `syntastic` Vim will start lagging
while saving and opening files. The following fixes this:
>
 let g:syntastic_go_checkers = ['golint', 'govet']
 let g:syntastic_mode_map = { 'mode': 'active', 'passive_filetypes': ['go'] }
<
If you want to add errcheck you can use golangci-lint as a wrapper:
>
 let g:syntastic_go_checkers = ['golint', 'govet', 'golangci-lint']
 let g:syntastic_go_gometalinter_args = ['--disable-all', '--enable=errcheck']
 let g:syntastic_mode_map = { 'mode': 'active', 'passive_filetypes': ['go'] }
<
Another issue with `vim-go` and `syntastic` is that the location list window
that contains the output of commands such as `:GoBuild` and `:GoTest` might
not appear.  To resolve this:
>
 let g:go_list_type = "quickfix"
<

How do I run focused ginkgo tests?~

You must set this environment variable in your `.vimrc`:
>
  let $GINKGO_EDITOR_INTEGRATION = "true"
<

Using with NeoVim~

Note: Neovim currently is not a first class citizen for vim-go. You are free
to open bug, however I'm not using Neovim so it's hard for me to test it.
vim-go might not work as well in Neovim as it does in Vim. I'm happy to accept
pull requests or very detailed bug reports. If you're interested to improve
the state of Neovim in vim-go you're always welcome!

Run `:GoRun` in a new tab, horizontal split or vertical split terminal
>
 au FileType go nmap <leader>rt <Plug>(go-run-tab)
 au FileType go nmap <leader>rs <Plug>(go-run-split)
 au FileType go nmap <leader>rv <Plug>(go-run-vertical)
<
By default new terminals are opened in a vertical split. To change it
>
 let g:go_term_mode = "split"
>

How can I customize the highlighting?~

All the highlight groups used by vim-go are prefixed with `go` (e.g.
`goType`) and are defined in the files in the `syntax` directory. To change
the highlighting for any group, add a `highlight` command for the group to
your vimrc.  To turn off the highlighting for any group, add `highlight link
group-name NONE` (where `group-name` is the name of the group whose highlight
you'd like to turn off) to your vimrc.

Some people may wish to highlight Go's builtins as keywords. To do so, one
should simply add `highlight link goBuiltins Keyword` to the `vimrc` file.

==============================================================================
DEVELOPMENT                                               *go-development*

vim-go supports test files written in VimScript; the way they're run is
roughly similar to Go tests:

- A `*.vim` file has a corresponding `*_test.vim`.
- All functions starting with `Test_` are run as test.
- A test is considered to be "failed" if |v:errors| has any entries. You can
  use one of the |test-functions| to set this, or append to it directly.

A simple example:
>
 function Test_run_fmt()
   call assert_equal(expected, actual)
   ...
 endfunction
<
To run tests vim-go comes with three small helper scripts:

  `scripts/install-vim`   Install a pristine Vim to `/tmp/vim-go-test/`.
  `scripts/run-vim`       Run a Vim version from `/tmp/vim-go-test/`.
  `scripts/test`          Run all tests with a Vim from `/tmp/vim-go-test/`.

All scripts accept a Vim version as the first argument, which can be
`vim-8.0` or `nvim`. You will need to install a Vim version with
`install-vim` before you can use `run-vim` or `test`.

You can install and test all Vim versions by running `make`.
