Goto local Declaration

[drichardson]

This is an enhancement request to support vim's gd (Goto local Declaration) command. The way it's implemented in vim-go is very nice: you move the cursor over a symbol and then enter gd command to jump to the definition of that symbol.

I have had a look at how it would be possible to implement this, but it's really very hard to do right in vimscript for a language like Julia.

On the other hand, this functionality is apparently available via LanguageServer.jl, at least in neovim, see here.

I think there may be some experimental support for vim 8, but I haven't tested it.

Note that, as far as I can tell, vim-go also relies on an external parser for this, which is actually the sane way to do it.

And of course, there's always the poor man's way of just using #, at least within one file...
