Browse selected package

It would be handy to be able go to an import, similar to how ctrl + click works.

@kdeenanauth Do you mean to be able to go to the line where the import statement lies? Or go to the go files which are part of the imported package?

[kdeenanauth]

When clicking on an import statement line, go to the associated file(s). I realize there may be some disambiguation problems though :\

[ramya-rao-a]

Yup, when there are multiple files associated with a package, where would the click go

[kdeenanauth]

I'm not sure ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Ideally showing a popup so you can click the file you want. But I've heard it's not possible for extensions to implement custom menus. You might just be limited to going to the first file.

Browse Packages in Sublime does something similar.
We can use the quickpick control to show the list of files in the selected package.

@ramya-rao-a When will this PR be implemented?

[ramya-rao-a]

@jackie-qiu As far as I know, there is no PR open for this.

Do you mean to ask when will this feature be implemented?

[jackie-qiu]

@ramya-rao-a Yes, when will this feature be implemented?

[ramya-rao-a]

Definitely in June

[jackie-qiu]

Has this feature been implemented?

[ramya-rao-a]

Hey @jackie-qiu, not yet. I'll try to get it into the next update

Re-opening to do the below

The Browse Packages feature relies on the running of go list all when extension gets activated (when you open a VS Code window).
go list all is a little slow, but much more slower on slower machines.

• Will add a message saying "Still collecting all packages, try after some time"
• Will also cache the result, so that the second time you open VS Code, you will have something to browse, while in the background go list all is run again and cache is updated.

This feature is now out in the latest update (0.6.63) to the Go extension

• If cursor is on an import statement, then files from the imported package will be shown in the quick pick control
• Else, all packages are shown in the quick pick control. Select any and corresponding Go files will be shown next.
• Selecting any of the Go files, will open the file in a new editor.
