Go Plugin

The go plugin provides some extra niceties for using micro with the Go programming language. The main thing this plugin does is run gofmt and goimports for you automatically. If you would also like automatically error linting, check out the linter plugin. The plugin also provides gorename functionality.

You can run

> gofmt

or

> goimports

To automatically run these when you save the file, use the following options:

  • gofmt: run gofmt on file saved. Default value: on
  • goimports: run goimports on file saved. Default value: off

To use gorename, place your cursor over the variable you would like to rename and enter the command > gorename newName.

You also press F6 (the default binding) to open a prompt to rename. You can rebind this in your bindings.json file with the action go.gorename.

The go plugin also provides an interface for using gorename if you have it installed. The gorename command behaves in two ways:

  • With one argument: > gorename newname will rename the identifier under the cursor with the new name newname.

  • With two arguments: > gorename oldname newname will rename the old identifier with the new one. This uses gorename's syntax for specifying the old identifier, so please see gorename --help for the details for how to specify the variable.
