In addition to integrated editing features, this extension offers a number of commands, which can be executed manually through the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Linux/Windows or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac OS).

Some of these commands are also available in the VS Code context menu (right-click). To control which of these commands show up in the editor context menu, update the "go.editorContextMenuCommands" setting.

All commands provided by this extension have the prefix Go:.
