# vim-go
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
Go (golang) support for Vim, which comes with pre-defined sensible settings (like
auto gofmt on save), with autocomplete, snippet support, improved syntax
highlighting, go toolchain commands, and more. If needed vim-go installs all
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
necessary binaries for providing seamless Vim integration with current
commands. It's highly customizable and each individual feature can be
disabled/enabled easily.

## Install
2016-06-11 13:56:50 +00:00
Master branch is supposed to be a development branch. So stuff here can break and change.
2016-05-14 11:57:54 +00:00
Please try use always the [latest release](https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/releases/latest)
2015-12-16 13:53:53 +00:00
Vim-go follows the standard runtime path structure, so I highly recommend to
use a common and well known plugin manager to install vim-go. Do not use vim-go
with other Go oriented vim plugins. For Pathogen just clone the repo. For other
plugin managers add the appropriate lines and execute the plugin's install
command.
2015-02-24 10:45:22 +00:00
* [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen)
* `git clone https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-go`
* [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug)
* `Plug 'fatih/vim-go'`
* [NeoBundle](https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim)
* `NeoBundle 'fatih/vim-go'`
* [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle)
* `Plugin 'fatih/vim-go'`
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
Please be sure all necessary binaries are installed (such as `gocode`, `godef`,
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
`goimports`, etc.). You can easily install them with the included
`:GoInstallBinaries` command. If invoked, all necessary binaries will be
2015-02-24 10:45:22 +00:00
automatically downloaded and installed to your `$GOBIN` environment (if not set
2015-12-16 13:53:53 +00:00
it will use `$GOPATH/bin`). Note that this command requires `git` for fetching
the individual Go packages. Additionally, use `:GoUpdateBinaries` to update the
installed binaries.
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
### Optional
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
* Autocompletion is enabled by default via `<C-x><C-o>`. To get real-time
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
completion (completion by type) install:
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
[neocomplete](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplete.vim) for Vim or
[deoplete](https://github.com/Shougo/deoplete.nvim) and
[deoplete-go](https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-go) for NeoVim
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
* To display source code tag information on a sidebar install
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
[tagbar](https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar).
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
* For snippet features install:
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
[neosnippet](https://github.com/Shougo/neosnippet.vim) or
[ultisnips](https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips).
* Screenshot color scheme is a slightly modified molokai:
[fatih/molokai](https://github.com/fatih/molokai).
* For a better documentation viewer checkout:
[go-explorer](https://github.com/garyburd/go-explorer).
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
## Usage
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
Many of the plugin's [features](#features) are enabled by default. There are no
2015-01-18 12:58:28 +00:00
additional settings needed. All usages and commands are listed in
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
`doc/vim-go.txt`. Note that help tags needs to be populated. Check your plugin
manager settings to generate the documentation (some do it automatically).
After that just open the help page to see all commands:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
:help vim-go
2016-05-14 11:57:54 +00:00
## Example Mappings
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
vim-go has several `<Plug>` mappings which can be used to create custom
2016-05-14 11:57:54 +00:00
mappings. Unless otherwise specified, none of these mappings are enabled
by default. Here some examples you might find useful:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
Run commands such as `go run` for the current file with `<leader>r` or `go
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
build` and `go test` for the current package with `<leader>b` and `<leader>t`
respectively. Display beautifully annotated source code to see which functions
are covered with `<leader>c`.
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
au FileType go nmap <leader>r <Plug>(go-run)
au FileType go nmap <leader>b <Plug>(go-build)
au FileType go nmap <leader>t <Plug>(go-test)
au FileType go nmap <leader>c <Plug>(go-coverage)
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
By default the mapping `gd` is enabled, which opens the target identifier in
current buffer. You can also open the definition/declaration, in a new vertical,
horizontal, or tab, for the word under your cursor:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
au FileType go nmap <Leader>ds <Plug>(go-def-split)
au FileType go nmap <Leader>dv <Plug>(go-def-vertical)
au FileType go nmap <Leader>dt <Plug>(go-def-tab)
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
Open the relevant Godoc for the word under the cursor with `<leader>gd` or open
it vertically with `<leader>gv`
```vim
au FileType go nmap <Leader>gd <Plug>(go-doc)
au FileType go nmap <Leader>gv <Plug>(go-doc-vertical)
```
Or open the Godoc in browser
```vim
au FileType go nmap <Leader>gb <Plug>(go-doc-browser)
```
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
Show a list of interfaces which is implemented by the type under your cursor
with `<leader>s`
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
au FileType go nmap <Leader>s <Plug>(go-implements)
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
Show type info for the word under your cursor with `<leader>i` (useful if you
have disabled auto showing type info via `g:go_auto_type_info`)
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
au FileType go nmap <Leader>i <Plug>(go-info)
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
Rename the identifier under the cursor to a new name
```vim
au FileType go nmap <Leader>e <Plug>(go-rename)
```
More `<Plug>` mappings can be seen with `:he go-mappings`. Also these are just
recommendations, you are free to create more advanced mappings or functions
based on `:he go-commands`.
## Settings
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
Below are some settings you might find useful. For the full list see `:he
go-settings`.
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
By default syntax-highlighting for Functions, Methods and Structs is disabled.
To change it:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
let g:go_highlight_functions = 1
let g:go_highlight_methods = 1
2016-06-11 13:56:50 +00:00
let g:go_highlight_fields = 1
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
let g:go_highlight_structs = 1
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
let g:go_highlight_interfaces = 1
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
let g:go_highlight_operators = 1
let g:go_highlight_build_constraints = 1
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
Enable goimports to automatically insert import paths instead of gofmt:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
let g:go_fmt_command = "goimports"
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
By default vim-go shows errors for the fmt command, to disable it:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
let g:go_fmt_fail_silently = 1
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
Disable auto fmt on save:
```vim
let g:go_fmt_autosave = 0
```
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
Disable opening browser after posting your snippet to `play.golang.org`:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
let g:go_play_open_browser = 0
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
By default when `:GoInstallBinaries` is called, the binaries are installed to
`$GOBIN` or `$GOPATH/bin`. To change it:
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```vim
2015-07-13 10:22:46 +00:00
let g:go_bin_path = expand("~/.gotools")
let g:go_bin_path = "/home/fatih/.mypath" "or give absolute path
2014-10-31 21:30:24 +00:00
```
2016-06-11 13:56:50 +00:00
Disable updating dependencies when installing/updating binaries:
```vim
let g:go_get_update = 0
```
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
### Using with Neovim (beta)
Note: Neovim currently is not a first class citizen for vim-go. You are free
to open bugs but I'm not going to look at them. Even though I'm using Neovim
myself, Neovim itself is still alpha. So vim-go might not work well as good as
in Vim. I'm happy to accept pull requests or very detailed bug reports.
2015-12-16 13:53:53 +00:00
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
Run `:GoRun` in a new tab, horizontal split or vertical split terminal
2015-12-16 13:53:53 +00:00
```vim
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
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)
2015-12-16 13:53:53 +00:00
```
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
By default new terminals are opened in a vertical split. To change it
```vim
let g:go_term_mode = "split"
```
By default the testing commands run asynchronously in the background and
display results with `go#jobcontrol#Statusline()`. To make them run in a new
terminal
```vim
let g:go_term_enabled = 1
```
2015-12-16 13:53:53 +00:00
### Using with Syntastic
2016-02-20 13:13:10 +00:00
Sometimes when using both `vim-go` and `syntastic` Vim will start lagging while
saving and opening files. The following fixes this:
2015-02-04 10:43:54 +00:00
2015-12-08 13:20:04 +00:00
```vim
let g:syntastic_go_checkers = ['golint', 'govet', 'errcheck']
let g:syntastic_mode_map = { 'mode': 'active', 'passive_filetypes': ['go'] }
```
2015-02-04 10:43:54 +00:00
2016-05-14 11:57:54 +00:00
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:
```vim
let g:go_list_type = "quickfix"
```
