Overview

Gofmt is a Sublime Text 3 plugin that auto-formats Go code. Requires Sublime Text version 3124 or later. Simpler alternative to noonat/sublime-gofmt without error highlighting.

Deprecated in favor of https://github.com/mitranim/sublime-fmt which is more general.

Installation

This plugin is not on Package Control and requires manual installation.

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/mitranim/sublime-gofmt.git

Then symlink it to your Sublime packages directory. Example for MacOS:

mv sublime-gofmt Gofmt
cd Gofmt
ln -sf "$(pwd)" "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/"

To find the packages directory, use Sublime Text menu → Preferences → Browse Packages.

Usage

By default, Gofmt will autoformat files before saving. You can trigger it manually with the Gofmt: Format Buffer command in the command palette.

I highly recommend installing goimports and using it instead of gofmt:

  "executable": ["goimports"]

Settings

See Gofmt.sublime-settings for all available settings. To override them, open:

Preferences → Package Settings → Gofmt → Settings

Gofmt looks for settings in the following places:

• "Gofmt" dict in general Sublime settings, possibly project-specific
• Gofmt.sublime-settings, default or user-created

The general Sublime settings take priority. To override them on a per-project basis, create a "Gofmt" entry:

  "Gofmt": {
    "format_on_save": false
  },

Commands

In Sublime's command palette:

• Gofmt: Format Buffer

Hotkeys

To avoid potential conflicts, this plugin does not come with hotkeys. To hotkey the format command, add something like this to your .sublime-keymap:

{
  "keys": ["ctrl+super+k"],
  "command": "gofmt_format_buffer",
  "context": [{"key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "source.go"}]
}
