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 colors in the Structure tool window and the 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 highlighted in green.

Hover over icons in Structure to get additional information in tooltips about the items.

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 press Ctrl+F12, or go to Navigate | File Structure in the main menu.
In the popup, start typing the name of the element that you want to find. The IDE will narrow down the search results as you type.
You can also use CamelHumps, that is, for example, you can type dsu to match DoSomethingUseful.
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.

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.
