Commands

In addition to the integrated editing features, this extension offers a number of commands, which can be executed manually through the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

Some of these commands are also available in the VS Code context menu (right click). To control which of these commands show up in the editor context menu, update the "go.editorContextMenuCommands" setting.

All commands provided by this extension have the prefix "Go: ".
