File structure

Last modified: 19 January 2024

The Structure tool window: View | Tool Windows | Structure or Alt07

The Structure popup: Navigate | File Structure or CtrlF12

GoLand allows you to view and navigate the structure of a file in the Structure tool window and the Structure popup.

Structure popup

You can see the VCS status color hints in the Structure tool window and Structure popup if your project is under version control. It helps you track changes in files. The names of modified objects become blue, and the names of the newly added objects appear in the tool window highlighted in green.

Structure popup

The popup provides less information than the tool window, but it allows you to navigate the structure faster due to the Narrow down on typing option.

Show Package Structure

Show code elements from other files that are included in the current package.

Alphabetically

Sorts elements within a class alphabetically.

Sort by Exportability

Shows first the identifiers that may be exported to permit access to them from another package.

Narrow down on typing

Hides irrelevant items as you type. When this option is disabled, the IDE highlights all items that match your search query without hiding irrelevant items.
