Vim plugins for Go (http://golang.org)
======================================
To use all the Vim plugins, add these lines to your $HOME/.vimrc.
 " Some Linux distributions set filetype in /etc/vimrc.
 " Clear filetype flags before changing runtimepath to force Vim to reload them.
 if exists("g:did_load_filetypes")
 filetype off
 filetype plugin indent off
 endif
 set runtimepath+=$GOROOT/misc/vim " replace $GOROOT with the output of: go env GOROOT
 filetype plugin indent on
 syntax on
If you want to select fewer plugins, use the instructions in the rest of
this file.
A popular configuration is to gofmt Go source files when they are saved.
To do that, add this line to the end of your $HOME/.vimrc.
 autocmd FileType go autocmd BufWritePre <buffer> Fmt
Vim syntax highlighting
-----------------------
To install automatic syntax highlighting for GO programs:
 1. Copy or link the filetype detection script to the ftdetect directory
 underneath your vim runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/ftdetect)
 2. Copy or link syntax/go.vim to the syntax directory underneath your vim
 runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/syntax). Linking this file rather
 than just copying it will ensure any changes are automatically reflected
 in your syntax highlighting.
 3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc):
 syntax on
In a typical unix environment you might accomplish this using the following
commands:
 mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/ftdetect
 mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax
 mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/autoload/go
 ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/ftdetect/gofiletype.vim $HOME/.vim/ftdetect/
 ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/syntax/go.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax
 ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/autoload/go/complete.vim $HOME/.vim/autoload/go
 echo "syntax on" >> $HOME/.vimrc
Vim filetype plugins
--------------------
To install one of the available filetype plugins:
 1. Same as 1 above.
 2. Copy or link ftplugin/go.vim to the ftplugin directory underneath your vim
 runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/ftplugin). Copy or link one or more
 additional plugins from ftplugin/go/*.vim to the Go-specific subdirectory
 in the same place ($HOME/.vim/ftplugin/go/*.vim).
 3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc):
 filetype plugin on
Vim indentation plugin
----------------------
To install automatic indentation:
 1. Same as 1 above.
 2. Copy or link indent/go.vim to the indent directory underneath your vim
 runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/indent).
 3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc):
 filetype indent on
Vim compiler plugin
-------------------
To install the compiler plugin:
 1. Same as 1 above.
 2. Copy or link compiler/go.vim to the compiler directory underneath your vim
 runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/compiler).
 3. Activate the compiler plugin with ":compiler go". To always enable the
 compiler plugin in Go source files add an autocommand to your .vimrc file
 (normally $HOME/.vimrc):
 autocmd FileType go compiler go
Godoc plugin
------------
To install godoc plugin:
 1. Same as 1 above.
 2. Copy or link plugin/godoc.vim to $HOME/.vim/plugin/godoc,
 syntax/godoc.vim to $HOME/.vim/syntax/godoc.vim,
 and autoload/go/complete.vim to $HOME/.vim/autoload/go/complete.vim.
