Is there a reason why play.golang.org needs separate buttons for Run, Format, and Imports? Is there any reason for or anybody not doing those automatically?
Shouldn't Run automatically subsume Format and Imports?
Also, it would be good to have a keyboard shortcut to run it. It's not convenient to shift to a mouse/trackpad.

Say someone has issues with their code and pastes it to play.golang.org.

You want hitting "run" to say "no module named blah" and not automatically fix the
error for them That would be very confusing.

No, it should simply run the code in my opinion, after all that's what "run" means

There is on my computer :P install something like vimperator or use quotebrowser
or some such.
>> well, me too. with vimium. :-) But that suggestion was to include others also who don't use those extensions.
