(referred to simply as govim
) is a Go development plugin for Vim8, much
like vim-go
. But unlike vim-go
, govim
is written in Go, not VimScript. It has
features like code completion, format-on-save, hover details and go-to definition, all of which are driven by
gopls
, the Language Server Protocol (LSP) server for Go. See the
wiki for more details. Installation instructions below.
Package github.com/govim/govim
provides an API for plugin developers to
interface with Vim8 in Go. More details here.
govim

and Vim v8.1.1711
(gvim
is also supported). Neovim is not (currently) supported. More details in the
FAQ.
