File structure
GoLand allows you to view and navigate the structure of a file in the Structure tool window and the 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.
Open a file in the editor and in the main menu, go to
or press Control+F12.In the popup, start typing the name of the element that you want to find. You can also use wildcards. The IDE will narrow down the search results as you type.
You can additionally narrow down your search results by using the checkboxes in the popup. To change the sorting, click and select the necessary option.
Press Enter or click an item to close the popup and navigate to the selected element in the editor.
