codelens-golang-navigate
A Visual Studio Code extension that adds CodeLens actions and trusted hover links for fast navigation in Golang code.
Features
CodeLens navigation
For Go symbols, the extension shows CodeLens actions:
🔍 Definition | 🏷️ Type definition | ⚙️ Implementations | 🏗️ Type hierarchy | 📞 Callers | 🔗 References
CodeLens is:
- Automatically refreshed while typing (debounced)
- Powered by
gopls via VS Code's symbol provider
Hover navigation
When hovering a Go symbol, you get clickable links:
🔍 Definition | 🏷️ Type definition | ⚙️ Implementations | 🏗️ Type hierarchy | 📞 Callers | 🔗 References
These links are trusted and execute the corresponding editor navigation commands.
- Document symbols are cached per file version
- CodeLens refresh is debounced (configurable)
- Refresh happens only for the active Go editor
