Optimize your code by removing bounds checks when using slices and arrays.

Go 1.17 brings a new language change: Converting a slice to an array pointer yields a pointer to the underlying array of the slice. If the length of the slice is less than the length of the array, a run-time panic occurs.

Make sure your code is always formatted with gofmt.

How to use:

To use this feature, check the On code reformat option under Settings/Preferences | Editor | Code Style | Go | Other.

Now you can use the default shortcut, ⌘⌥L (macOS) / Ctrl+Alt+L (Windows/Linux), to trigger the builtin formatter.

Pro tip: You can also search for Run gofmt in the IDE Settings/Preferences, and activate the option as described above.

Make all your changes then run go list at the push of a button.

How to use:

Navigate to Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools and select External changes instead of Any changes.

Then, edit your go.mod file, and when you are done, press the button at the top-right corner of the editor to refresh these changes.

The IDE now reads the go directive in the go.mod file when it analyzes files.

How to use:

You don't need to do anything to use this feature. However, the IDE might suggest new operations based on the difference between the project SDK and the targeted Go version via go.mod.

Be on top of your dependencies and quickly locate unused modules with this inspection.

How to use:

Open a go.mod file and look out for dependency lines marked with grey.

Stop switching between IDE windows and keep all your projects in the same window.

How to use:

Select the Attach feature when opening an existing project or creating a new one.

When your work is done, right-click on the project you want to detach and select Remove from Project View.

The IDE can automatically reload the page opened in a browser after you make changes to an HTML file, or the linked CSS and JavaScript files.

How to use:

First, open the file from the IDE via the icon on the upper right-side of the editor or via View | Open in Browser | "browser name".

Reloading is triggered whenever changes are saved in the IDE, either automatically or using Press ⌘S (macOS) / Ctrl+S (Windows/Linux), or when changes are made to a file externally.

The IDE will show you completion suggestions based on the type used in the function call for the parameters in the function body.

How to use:

You don't need to do anything to use this feature as the IDE will automatically infer the code suggestions based on what you typed already.

Pro tip: Use the Smart Type Completion, ⌃⇧␣ (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+Space (Windows/Linux), to narrow-down the list further.

Live templates are a great way to quickly write common/repeating code. Arrow functions are no exception from this, so we introduced the arf live template to create them.

How to use:

In any JavaScript file, type arf and follow up with Enter or Tab to complete the template and generate the corresponding code.

How to use:

Declare the type in the JSDoc section above your object/function call and watch the IDE be able to infer the properties and methods of the target object.

How to use:

Invoke the Rename refactoring, ⇧F6 (macOS) / Shift+F6 (Windows/Linux) and the IDE will detect automatically when it's invoked on a useState hook in a React application and offer to rename all names associated with them.

How to use:

You don't need to do anything special to use this feature. When using the classnames and clsx libraries, the IDE will show completion suggestions for your CSS classes and resolve all symbols in string literals and properties with literal names.

How to use:

Configure the git client with the correct key. Then, head over to Settings/Preferences | Version Control | Git and check the option Configure GPG Key... to turn on this feature.

How to use:

Invoke the Commit feature using ⌘K (macOS) / Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux), then select the Commit options and check the Run Tests option, then select which test configuration you wish to run.

Note: You must have the Use non-modal commit interface activated before you can use this feature. Check your settings under Settings/Preferences | Version Control | Commit.

Pro-tip: You can use the Compound configuration type to run more than a single run configuration.

Committing error-free code reduces the time it takes for reviews to go happen and makes everyone happy. Since not all errors may be caught by tests, you can choose to run Inspections before a commit. This will improve your chances to have fewer bugs in code.

How to use:

Invoke the Commit using ⌘K (macOS) / Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux), then select the Commit options, and select the Analyze code feature.

Sometimes an extra pair of parenthesis make their way into our code. Since it's not needed to improve the clarity or help the code function in any way, its better to remove it. That's why, it's useful to run a Cleanup step before the code reaches upstream.

How to use: Invoke the Commit using ⌘K (macOS) / Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux), then select the Commit options, and select the Cleanup feature.

How to use:

As with any regular programming language supported by the IDE, place the cursor on a key in a Dockerfile or a docker-compose.yaml then invoke the Quick Documentation feature via F1 (macOS) / Ctrl+Q (Windows/Linux) and learn more about the desired key.

Sometimes you need to start with the application from scratch, and rebuilding the container is not needed. That's where the Restart feature comes in and helps you.

How to use:

Select one or multiple running containers that you want to restart, then click Restart in the Services window.

When you need to test how a micro-service behaves when another one is unavailable, use the pause feature. Then resume it without the hassle of starting the container from scratch.

How to use:

Select one or multiple running containers that you want to pause or resume, then click on the Pause or Resume button in the Services window.

How to use:

Open a docker-compose.yaml file and go to any ports mapping section to see if it contains any messages or not.

How to use:

Open a docker-compose.yaml file and go to any shm_size value to see if it contains any messages or not.

How to use:

Open a docker-compose.yaml file and go to any device_cgroup_rules value to see if it contains any messages or not.

If the plugin cannot automatically infer the available Kubernetes namespaces, now you can configure them manually. This will solve the problem when the user does not have the required permissions to perform namespace listing.

How to use:

Go to Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Kubernetes and configure the namespace in the corresponding section.

Note: You must have the Kubernetes plugin provided by JetBrains installed for this action to work.

If you want to perform tasks on save, you can now use the Actions on save feature to reformat the source code, optimize imports, rearrange it, run cleanup, or even upload it to a specified sever.

Turn on the actions you want to perform on save in the GoLand | Settings for macOS ⌘ Сmd , or File | Settings for Windows and Linux.

Then, navigate to Settings > Tools > Actions on Save section of the IDE.

Whenever you upgrade your IDE to a new major version, it leaves behind all its configuration, caches, logs, and other directories so you can return to it any time you want. However, you might not want to keep those old caches or logs for too long, as they can slowly add up. Don't worry, the IDE will help you do all the cleanup.

How to use:

The IDE will automatically clean up any cache and log directories that were last updated more than 180 days ago. To trigger this process manually, go to Help | Delete Leftover IDE Directories....

Note: The system settings and plugins directories will stay intact.

With the new Search field to the Local History dialog you quickly get to the necessary text in your revisions.

How to use:

Invoke Local History on a file, then press the Find shortcut, ⌘F (macOS) / Ctrl+F (Windows/Linux).

How to use:

Select the desired shape between Block, Underline, and Vertical under Settings/Preferences | Tools | Terminal | Cursor shape.

Use the shell that you need in each Terminal tabs with only a few clicks.

How to use:

Click on the ⋁ button next to the existing tabs and select which shell to use. You can also create a new SSH session from it, if you have any servers configured or configure a new one.

How to use:

Select a portion of the code, press ⌘⌥⏎ (macOS) / Ctrl+Alt+Enter (Windows/Linux), then choose Create new scratch file from selection to quickly create a new scratch containing the same code.

How to use:

Remove all the contents of a scratch file the close it. The IDE will automatically remove it.
