In addition to integrated editing features, this extension offers a number of commands, which can be executed manually through the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Linux/Windows or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac OS).
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:.
The commands described below are up-to-date as of June 2020. We do our best to keep documentation current, but if a command is missing, you can always consult the full list in the Extensions view.
