# VSCode
Use the [VSCode-Go] plugin, with the following configuration:
```json5
"go.useLanguageServer": true,
"[go]": {
"editor.snippetSuggestions": "none",
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.organizeImports": true,
}
},
"gopls": {
"usePlaceholders": true, // add parameter placeholders when completing a function
// Experimental settings
"completeUnimported": true, // autocomplete unimported packages
"watchFileChanges": true, // watch file changes outside of the editor
"deepCompletion": true, // enable deep completion
},
"files.eol": "\n", // formatting only supports LF line endings
```
VSCode will complain about the `"gopls"` settings, but they will still work. Once we have a consistent set of settings, we will make the changes in the VSCode plugin necessary to remove the errors.
If you encounter problems with import organization, please try setting a higher code action timeout (any value greater than 750ms), for example:
```json5
"[go]": {
"editor.codeActionsOnSaveTimeout": 3000
}
```
To enable more detailed debug information, add the following to your VSCode settings:
```json5
"go.languageServerFlags": [
"-rpc.trace", // for more detailed debug logging
"serve",
"--debug=localhost:6060", // to investigate memory usage, see profiles
],
```
See the section on [command line](command-line.md) arguments for more information about what these do, along with other things like `--logfile=auto` that you might want to use.
You can disable features through the `"go.languageServerExperimentalFeatures"` section of the config. An example of a feature you may want to disable is `"documentLink"`, which opens [`godoc.org`](https://godoc.org) links when you click on import statements in your file.

# VSCode Remote Development with gopls
You can also make use of `gopls` with the [VSCode Remote Development](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview) extensions to enable full-featured Go development on a lightweight client machine, while connected to a more powerful server machine.
First, install the Remote Development extension of your choice, such as the [Remote - SSH](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh) extension. Once you open a remote session in a new window, open the Extensions pane (Ctrl+Shift+X) and you will see several different sections listed. In the "Local - Installed" section, navigate to the Go extension and click "Install in SSH: hostname".
Once you have reloaded VSCode, you will be prompted to install `gopls` and other Go-related tools. After one more reload, you should be ready to develop remotely with VSCode and the Go extension.
