What is GoImport?

GoImport is a Sublime Text 2 plugin that helps you with handling import statements in your Go programs. It's inspired by the :Import/:Drop support for VIM that's bundled with the Go language.

Installing it

Simply clone this repo to your Packages directory. On Mac OS X, this would be:

$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 2/Packages/
$ git clone git://github.com/mkrautz/goimport.git GoImport

After cloning the repo, you'll also need to add keybinds for activating the import and drop prompts. My user keybinds look like this:

[
    { "keys": ["f1"], "command": "prompt_go_import" },
    { "keys": ["f2"], "command": "prompt_go_drop" }
]

Keybinds can be configured via the Preferences -> Key Bindings (User) menu.

Using it

After installation, you should be able to use your chosen keyboard shortcuts to handle your imports. For example, I simply press F1 when I want to add a new import, and F2 to drop an existing one. Note that as of this writing, when adding an import, the existing imports will be sorted alphabetically.

TODO

Named importrs are not handled too well at the moment.
