GoLand Keyboard Shortcuts

Complete GoLand keyboard shortcuts and commands reference — 216 shortcuts across 16 categories. Quick reference cheat sheet for Windows & Mac.

GoLand shares the JetBrains keymap with IntelliJ, PyCharm and CLion, and this page assumes you have met those keys before — it explains what they do in a Go module: test generation, the run key with multiple main packages, and go-to-definition across the module cache. The table is the Windows/Linux keymap; macOS uses Cmd.

Go-specific uses of shared keys

Generating or jumping to the test for the function under the cursor is a Navigate menu action rather than a default key in this keymap, so table-driven tests are usually reached through Ctrl + Shift + A and typing “test”. Ctrl + B on an identifier goes to its definition, including into dependencies in the module cache and the standard library source, and Alt + F7 finds usages across the module. Ctrl + Shift + N opens any file and Ctrl + E lists recent ones; Ctrl + F12 shows the current file's functions and types as a popup.

Fixing and formatting

Alt + Enter offers Go-aware fixes: add a missing import, implement the interface methods a type needs, handle an unchecked error, convert to a switch. Ctrl + Alt + L runs gofmt (or goimports if configured), so formatting arguments never happen. Ctrl + / comments a line, Ctrl + D duplicates one, F2 steps to the next problem — vet and lint findings included — and Shift + F6 renames across packages, exported identifiers and all.

Running

Shift + F10 runs the context configuration for what is under the cursor: a main function, a single test, or a benchmark. With several main packages in a module this is faster than maintaining run configurations. Shift + Shift searches everything including actions and settings, while Ctrl + Shift + A locates a named action — such as Go Modules › Sync Dependencies after editing go.mod.
