This brings me joy.

Very nice!

On the topic of Sublime Text 2...

I recently attempted to switch to Sublime Text 2 as my Go editor of
choice, but I ended up missing the :Import and :Drop support for
import management that's present in the VIM plugins bundled with Go.
To get past that hurdle, I implemented something similar for Go.

It's available on GitHub, if anyone's interested:

Cool :)

Something similar is on the ideas papers: when you type pkg. ctrl+space and pkg can be identified as a undefined but is available as looking like pkg names then you get completion for it.

Ofcourse this implies pkg path completion which would also be available inside an import statement as well as automatic import addition and removal.

Id prefer to push back into Golang as opposed to trying it in Python so it's closer to the bottom(of a rather short list) .

As a result it will have to wait until I look into adding ST2 output support to gocode and gofmt is integrated.

The gofmt integration already works but doesn't support niceties like highlighting syntax errors

Very nice, thanks. I noticed it doesn't like to launch gocode on
Windows (seems to hang), but if I run gocode first it seems to work
great.

[DisposaBoy]

IIRC that's how gocode works. The first time it runs it will start the daemon/server which explains the hang. I have it running at boot so I don't get to experience this. I'll create a bug report and work something out.

Update

get it at https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime

demos at http://www.youtube.com/user/GoSublime/videos (pretty much nothing there yet)

the summary: GoSublime is a Golang plugin collection for the text editor SublimeText 2 providing code completion and other IDE-like features.

A lot has changed since the last announcement

main features:

• code completion from Gocode
• context aware snippets via the code-completion popup to complement the existing SublimeText Go package.
• sublime build system(ctrl+b) allowing to run any command your shell will accept with some focus(and enhancements) on the gocommand including support for cycling errors with F4/Shift+F4
• lint/syntax check as you type
• quickly to any syntax error reported (and jump back to where you were before (across files))
• quickly fmt your source or automatically on save to conform with the Go standards
• easily create a new go file and run it without needing to save it first (go play)
• share your snippets(anything in the loaded file) on play.golang.org
• list declarations in the current file
• automtically add/remove package imports
• quickly jump your import section(automatically goes to the last import) where you can easily edit the pkg alias and return to where you were before
• go to definition of a package function or constant, etc.
• show the source(and thus documentation) of a variable without needing change views

thanks for the heads-up. Youtube told me the video looks jerky and like an idiot I agreed that it should *fix* it. Revert queued so it should be fixed soon.

Awesome work!
