Navigating to type, file, or symbol

Overview

Navigate commands enable you to quickly jump to the desired types, files, or symbols specified by names. GoLand suggests a look-up list of matching names, from which you can select the desired one, and open it in the editor. This navigation honors CamelCase and snake_case capitalization.

Navigating by name

To navigate to a type, file, or symbol by its name:

1. On the main menu, point to Navigate, and then choose Class, File, or Symbol respectively, or use the following shortcuts:

   • Type: Ctrl+N

   • File (directory): Ctrl+Shift+N

   • Symbol: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N

2. In the pop-up window, start typing the desired name.

   So doing, you can enter characters located anywhere inside the desired name. As you type, the suggestion list shrinks, displaying the matching names only.

   • Symbol:

     

3. Click the desired entry in the suggestion list, or select it using the arrow keys, and press Enter.
