All gopls language server features are now implemented:
- GoToDefinition: Navigate to the definition of a symbol
- FindReferences: Find all references to a symbol
- GetDiagnostics: Get compile errors and static analysis findings
- Hover: Get information about symbols under the cursor
- SearchSymbol: Search for symbols across the workspace (supports partial matching)
- RenameSymbol: Rename symbols across the workspace (applies changes directly to files)
- FindImplementers: Find all types that implement an interface
- ListDocumentSymbols: Get an outline of symbols defined in a file
- FormatCode: Format Go source code according to gofmt standards (applies changes to files)
- OrganizeImports: Organize import statements (groups and sorts imports, applies changes to files)
