This plugin adds godef support to vim.

The godef tool from Roger Peppe parses Go code and returns the location of the definition of a symbol. It can be installed with

go get -v code.google.com/p/rog-go/exp/cmd/godef
go install -v code.google.com/p/rog-go/exp/cmd/godef

To install this plugin, copy godef.vim to ~/.vim/plugin .

Or, if you're using pathogen,

git clone https://github.com/dgryski/vim-godef ~/.vim/bundle/vim-godef

This modules overrides the gd (go to local definition) command to open a new window at the definition of the symbol under the cursor. Setting

g:godef_split=0

will reuse the current window, and

g:godef_split=2

will open the definition in a new tab.

If you want jumps to the same file to move your current cursor instead of splitting, use

g:godef_same_file_in_same_window=1

This also adds a :Godef which will work for global types, methods, constants, and variables in the current package.
