A GoLand / IntelliJ plugin that adds missing quality-of-life features for Go development.
Type hints for short variable declarations (:=), range clauses, const/var blocks — anywhere Go infers the type and doesn't show it.
Hints are clickable (navigate to type definition) and fully customizable:
| Option | Styles |
|---|---|
| Pointer prefix | *int ^int &int ptrOf int |
| Channel arrows | <-chan / chan<- ← chan / → chan / ⇄ chan chan recv / chan send / chan bdir |
| Channel type brackets | chan int chan(int) chan[int] chan⟨int⟩ |
| Generic brackets | [T] ⟨T⟩ <T> |
| Variadic / ellipsis | ... … ⋯ ~ |
| Separator | , | ; |
| Function literal | func(...) ƒ(...) (...) |
Other settings: max hint length (long types get truncated), toggle type parameter rendering and their constraints, leading space.
Alt+Enter or Cmd+. on any struct → Generate struct builder.
Generates a fluent builder: exported interface with With* methods, unexported implementation, constructor, and a B() terminal method. Supports generics.
Pick which fields to include from the standard GoLand member chooser dialog. Exported fields are unchecked by default (they're directly settable anyway).
