gouse-idea

Toggle ‘declared and not used’ errors in Go by using idiomatic _ = notUsedVar and leaving a TODO comment.

Quick Action

One-Click Install

Context Menu

Find Action

Dependencies

gouse is required.

go install github.com/looshch/gouse/v2@latest

Usage

gouse: Toggle ‘declared and not used’ errors toggles the errors in a file.

The plugin also adds a light-bulb quick action that runs gouse for the current file.

You can run the same action from the editor right-click context menu or from Find Action.

If gouse is missing, the plugin can offer a one-click install. That still requires the Go toolchain to be available on your PATH.

If gouse is installed somewhere non-standard, set the executable path in Settings | Tools | gouse.

By default, if gouse.path is empty and gouse is already installed, the plugin tries to update gouse to the latest version in the background on startup. You can disable this with the startup auto-update checkbox in settings.
